    Key messages for Potential Tropical Cyclone One can be found in the
    Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT1 and WMO
    header WTNT41 KNHC.
    =20
    RAINFALL: Potential Tropical Cyclone One is expected to produce
    rainfall totals of 4 to 8 inches with isolated higher totals around
    12 inches through Thursday from the Mid to Upper Texas Coast through
    much of Louisiana, central and southern portions of Mississippi and
    Alabama, and the far western portion of the Florida Panhandle. This
    could generate dangerous to life-threatening flash flooding.

    WIND: Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch
    area beginning early Wednesday.
    =20
    STORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the
    tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by
    rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could
    reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated
    areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...
    =20
    Port Bolivar, TX to Morgan City, LA...2-4 ft
    =20
    The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and to
    the east of the landfall location, where the surge will be
    accompanied by large and dangerous waves. Surge-related flooding
    depends on the relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle,
    and can vary greatly over short distances. For information
    specific to your area, please see products issued by your local
    National Weather Service forecast office.

    inundation, please see the National Weather Service Peak
    Storm Surge Graphic, available at
    hurricanes.gov/graphics_at1.shtml?peakSurge.
    =20
    SURF: Swells generated by the Potential Tropical Cyclone are
    likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions
    along the northwestern Gulf Coast for the next couple of days.
    Please consult products from your local weather office.
