ETA EOC Coordinating Call – Wednesday November 4, 2020

Today we had our first EOC coordinating call on TS Eta.  Key information:

  1. The NWS will not have a good idea of what kind of storm we will see from the remnants of ETA until Friday morning or afternoon. The thinking now is that it will be a TS or Nor’easter type gale as it interacts with shearing from our north.  However, the weather will be widespread, windy, and rainy.  Rainfall for the next week could be from 7 to 15 inches.  Tides could be 2 feet above normal.
  2. No evacuations or other protective measures are ordered now but will be reviewed daily. Evacuations are not seen as required.
  3. The Hurricane Center will still provide tracking and updates even though it may become a remnant low pressure system because it is expected to gradually strengthen starting on Friday. Rapid intensification is not expected.
  4. Arrival of rain and wind is expected on Saturday and may last through Monday. This could be a very diffused system.

Please be prepared and secure your property and boats.

Thank you, John
