Great news! I have attached the latest graph which shows
a very encouraging decline in the tides!
Jeff Orrock, Meteorologist in Charge at
the National Weather Service reports the following:
Tropical
Storm Warnings have been dropped for the Bay and will be dropped south of Cape
Charles by 11 am. Coastal Flood Advisories are in effect for the Bay and rivers
due to continued Minor tidal flooding though the next one to two high tide
cycles.
Hermine
will stall and slowly intensify off the Demarva shifting to the west some later
today and tonight. Expect winds along the Eastern Shore of VA and MD to
increase some tonight into Monday morning. Wind gusts up to 30 to 40 mph
may return in coastal areas from Chincoteague north late tonight and Monday
morning. Tidal flooding along the Eastern Shore of VA and MD could reach
moderate flood levels.
Briefing
summaries for inland areas of VA have been discontinued as there are no impacts
expected inland from the Bay.
Safety message: With the rainfall finished, I
forward a message from our friends at Norfolk Public Health to help prevent
Zika: Tip, Toss and Cover! Tip over standing water from containers, toss
unused containers which could hold water and cover up containers as well as
yourself with appropriate clothing and EPA registered repellent. Check out and share video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY1MygNhZ5E.
Unless conditions change, this is the final update. Please send any information regarding storm-related damages as well as accomplishments, lessons learned and pictures to james.redick@norfolk.gov so a more complete after action report can be developed.
With that, thank you again to everybody for such an incredible response effort! Enjoy the rest of the weekend! Go Spartans! Go Monarchs! And GO TEAM NORFOLK!!!
Sincerely,
Jim
