We urge residents, businesses, and visitors, to be prepared for:

- Periods of heavy rain Thursday and Thursday evening, that may result in localized flooding, to include those low lying properties along the Intracoastal Waterway at high tide

- Winds 25-35 MPH with gusts to 40 MPH.

- Chance of isolated tornadoes

Please take time on Wednesday to review your disaster plan, prepare for the potential of isolated power outages and wind-blown debris, and by putting away loose outdoor items, such as furniture.
