(as of 5pm June 6, 2013)
Category: Tropical Storm
Location: 933 miles SE of Broad Channel
Pressure: 994 mb
Wind Speed: 60 mph
Movement: NE at 17 mph
At this time no Watches or Warnings have been issued by the National Weather Service for our area
What Can We Expect?
(Friday through Saturday)
Arrival of Andrea's Center of Circulation in our area: late Friday night, early Saturday morning
Thunderstorms: locally possible
[Note: The greatest risk for locally severe thunderstorms would be near and just east of the track of the tropical system's center of circulation. Broad Channel is forecast to be west of the storm's center so our risk should be minimal]
Precipitation: 2 to 4 inches of rain with locally heavier amounts possible
[Note: The rains from Andrea will precede its center of circulation by 12 hours]
Winds: 11-14 mph with higher gusts
Tidal Street Flooding?: minor street flooding at high tide Friday evening on W12thRd
Storm Surge?: None forecast at this time
Power Outage?: Not anticipated
Public Transportation Disruption?: Subway and Bus service should not be affected
[Note: Travel delays from blinding tropical downpours, poor drainage area flooding and locally gusty thunderstorms are possible.]
Cell Service Disruption?: Not anticipated
It is expected that Andrea will be downgraded to a post-tropical storm prior to impacting the Broad Channel area late tomorrow, however, it will merge with another front which is quickly approaching from the west (which will bring us precipitation tonight) resulting in significant rainfall accumulation. 2-4 inches of rain is a lot of water so residents with houses under construction should ensure all open areas are covered securely to avoid water penetration and interior damage.
