Tropical Depression One was about 170 miles SE of Flagler Beach early this morning.
Conditions are favorable for this depression to develop into a Tropical Storm later today and
then track north and northeast offshore the northeast Florida coast Wednesday night.
Forecast models have come into good agreement with this storm strengthening to Tropical
Storm strength as it moves northward while paralleling the southeast Atlantic coast through
late Thursday.
Based on the latest forecast, the greatest impact from this system will likely be over the
adjacent Atlantic waters and along the immediate coastline Wednesday and Wednesday
night, with conditions improving Thursday as the low tracks farther NE away from the area. A
tropical storm watch was issued this morning for the offshore Atlantic coastal waters (20-60
NM east of the Altamaha River southward to 20-60 NM east of Flagler Beach). This watch
means that Tropical Storm conditions are possible over these waters within 48 hours.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to begin to move onshore later today,
edging their way northward up the Atlantic coast tonight through late Wednesday. Bands of
showers and isolated thunderstorms will move onshore through Wednesday night, with locally
heavy rainfall possible. Rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are possible generally south of St
Augustine through Thursday, with locally higher amounts. Gusty winds in squalls may reach
up to 40 mph.
As onshore winds increase through midweek and swells build, the chance of dangerous rip
currents along the coast will also increase. Today there is a moderate risk of rip currents and
Marine Rescue will be flying red flags until conditions improve.
St. Johns County is not currently under any watches or warnings.
Today's Weather: 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 2pm.
Partly sunny, with a high near 87. Breezy, with a northeast wind 14 to 17 mph.
Tonight's Weather: A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with

a low around 75. Breezy, with a northeast wind around 15 mph.
