Things to focus on about this storm
• A very large region will be affected by very strong winds.
• Reflecting its tropical beginnings, very heavy rainfall will occur with the storm.
• The storm will be slow moving. This worsens the impact for coastal flooding as it will affect multiple high tide cycles. This worsens the potential for heavy rainfall inland and increases the risk of major river flooding.
• The area affected will be determined by the track of the storm. There is still considerable uncertainty about the track of the storm, but our region is clearly at risk.Executive Summary
• Potential for a very dangerous autumn storm system to affect the region early next week. • This storm will be associated with what is currently Tropical Storm Sandy. This storm system will bring multiple potential threats to the region.
• Strong damaging wind gusts, extremely heavy rainfall, major inland flooding and major coastal flooding are all possible with the storm. • The track of the storm will determine the area which is impacted; there is considerable uncertainty with the storm track this far in advance of the event.
• Next briefing package will be issued on Wednesday, October 24th. • Monitor our website at weather.gov/phi
