... Areas affected...
This statement recommends actions to be taken by persons in...
... The central Chesapeake Bay... the southern Chesapeake Bay... the
mid Atlantic coastal waters... the lower Eastern Shore of
Maryland... interior southeast Virginia... South Hampton roads
Virginia... the Eastern Shore of Virginia and the peninsula of
southeast Virginia.
... Watches/warnings...
No additional hazards are in effect.
... Precautionary/preparedness actions...
Have workable flashlights or portable lanterns and a battery-
powered radio. Have a supply of spare batteries. Use battery-
powered lights instead of candles since fire fighters and
emergency personnel may not be able to reach you during the
storm.
Boat owners should take action now to secure their boats. If out
on the open water... make way to seek safe Harbor. Be especially
cautious near inlet entrances where the incoming swell could
become steep when the tide is falling.
... Storm surge and storm tide...
Storm surge flooding of 1 to 2 feet above normal tide levels is
expected both on the outer coast of the Eastern Shore as well as
locations along the Chesapeake Bay. Along the coast large and
dangerous battering waves can also be expected. Coastal flooding
will be greatest around the times of high tide. The following are
select locations and times of high tide on saturday:

with gusts to 55 mph are expected by the mid morning hours over
Hampton Roads and by early afternoon over the lower Maryland
Eastern Shore. Winds over the coastal waters are expected to get
up to 45 to 50 mph with gusts to 60 mph. Speeds will diminish in
the evening hours as the storm accelerates up to the
northeast... and drop off significantly towards midnight.
... Inland flooding...
Expected rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches could cause local
flooding of small streams... creeks... and highly urbanized areas.
The heaviest rains will be west of the coastal areas but isolated
heavy rain in thunderstorms is possible.
... Tornadoes...
The potential will exist for tornadoes as Hanna approaches and
moves through the area. The threat will be highest as the storm
passes to the west of the area tonight and Saturday morning.
... Next update...
The next Tropical Storm Hanna local statement will be issued by
the National Weather Service in Wakefield VA around 3 am.
