water. Tropical storm force winds are capable of causing minor
damage to Mobile homes. Secure light weight items... like garbage
cans and patio furniture. These items will have the potential to
become projectiles during the height of the storm and cause
additional damage.
... Probability of tropical storm/hurricane conditions...

percent. Also... the chance for tropical storm conditions at this
time is up to 80 percent... especially west of U.S. Highway 231.

rainfall amounts could approach 3 to 5 inches with locally heavier
amounts possible. This has the potential to cause minor flooding
in urbanized areas as well as for rises in river levels to near
minor flood stage in the days ahead.
