Today we had our first EOC coordinating call on TS Eta. Key information:
- 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.
- No evacuations or other protective measures are ordered now but will be reviewed daily. Evacuations are not seen as required.
- 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.
- 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
