Warning Description: Tropical Storm Warning

Warning Date: 10:52 PM EDT on August 19, 2008

WarningSum:...Tropical Storm Warning Remains In Effect...

Warning Message:...New information...
a Hurricane Watch has been issued for the offshore marine waters
from Sebastian Inlet to Flagler Beach...from 20 to 60 nautical
miles.
Residents of east central Florida...and all marine interests in
the area...are strongly advised to remain informed of the latest
forecast with Tropical Storm Fay. Given the inherent uncertainties
in the forecast...additional hurricane watches may be needed
overnight or in the morning.
Tropical Storm Fay is moving slowly and somewhat erratically as
it heads toward the East Coast of south Brevard and Indian River
County. It is forecast to move offshore during the overnight
hours.
Fay is forecast to gradually strengthen as it moves offshore... 
later approaching minimal hurricane strength. Once offshore...the 
confidence in Fays forecast track and intensity is low. As a 
result...a Hurricane Watch has been issued...on top of the current 
Tropical Storm Warning...for the offshore waters from Sebastian 
Inlet to Flagler Beach...from 20 to 60 nautical miles from the coast.
Elsewhere...tropical storm warnings continue for all of east central 
Florida inland counties...coastal counties...and marine areas.  
...Next update...
the next local statement will be issued shortly and provide 
important details regarding the developing threat of each tropical 
cyclone hazard...and the nature of their potential impact upon the 
area.
