Milton will continue accelerating offshore this afternoon, with a tight pressure gradient between Milton and high pressure to the north keeping dangerous conditions across northeast Florida and the southeast Georgia coast through this evening. Sustained Tropical storm force winds are ongoing across coastal northeast Florida, along the St. Johns river, and along the southeast Georgia coast. These strong winds will likely continue through around sunset along the Atlantic oceanfront and along the St. Johns River before gradually diminishing during the evening hours. Storm surge inundation of up to 3 to 5 feet is expected along the northeast Florida and southeast Georgia Atlantic coasts and around 2 to 4 feet in the St Johns River basin through the rest of today. Significant flooding is also ongoing along portions of the St. Johns River basin and its tributaries in northeast Florida. Remember to "Turn Around, Don't Drown" if you encounter a flooded roadway or intersection. Never attempt to drive around barricades. Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are possible through sunset for the northeast Florida coastal counties. With already saturated grounds an gusty winds continuing, the threat for additional downed trees and powerlines will continue for locations within the tropical storm warning area. Stay in your shelter or safe location with your safety plan in place. Be sure you have a way to get weather alerts and forecast updates. Keep in mind that impacts can be felt far from the coast. Listen to local officials for notifications on the status of ongoing evacuation orders. POTENTIAL IMPACTS ----------------- * WIND: Potential impacts from the main wind event are now unfolding across Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia. Remain well sheltered from hazardous wind having additional limited impacts. If realized, these impacts include: - Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored mobile homes. Unsecured lightweight objects blown about. - Many large tree limbs broken off. A few trees snapped or uprooted, but with greater numbers in places where trees are shallow rooted. Some fences and roadway signs blown over. - A few roads impassable from debris, particularly within urban or heavily wooded places. Hazardous driving conditions on bridges and other elevated roadways. - Scattered power and communications outages. * SURGE: Potential impacts from the main surge event are now unfolding across coastal southeast Georgia, coastal northeast Florida, and within the St. Johns River basin and its tributaries. Remain well away from life-threatening surge having additional significant impacts. If realized, these impacts include: - Areas of inundation with storm surge flooding accentuated by waves. Damage to several buildings, mainly near the coast. - Sections of near-shore escape routes and secondary roads become weakened or washed out, especially in usually vulnerable low spots. - Major beach erosion with heavy surf breaching dunes. Strong and numerous rip currents. - Moderate damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers. Several small craft broken away from moorings, especially in unprotected anchorages. * FLOODING RAIN: Potential impacts from the flooding rain are still unfolding across northeast Florida. Remain well guarded against locally hazardous flood waters having additional limited impacts. If realized, these impacts include: - Localized rainfall flooding may prompt a few evacuations. - Rivers and tributaries may quickly rise with swifter currents. Small streams, creeks, canals, and ditches may become swollen and overflow in spots. - Flood waters can enter a few structures, especially in usually vulnerable spots. A few places where rapid ponding of water occurs at underpasses, low-lying spots, and poor drainage areas. Several storm drains and retention ponds become near-full and begin to overflow. Some brief road and bridge closures. Elsewhere across Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia, little to no impact is anticipated. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS ---------------------------------- * EVACUATIONS: Follow the advice of local officials. * OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION: Do not be a thrill seeker or risk your life for senseless photos or videos. If you are prone to flooding or in an area under a storm surge watch or warning, be prepared for the possibility of a quick and dramatic rise in water levels. * ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF INFORMATION: - For information on appropriate preparations see ready.gov - For information on creating an emergency plan see getagameplan.org - For additional disaster preparedness information see redcross.org NEXT UPDATE ----------- The next local statement will be issued by the National Weather Service in Jacksonville FL around 6 PM EDT, or sooner if conditions warrant.
