Today's Briefing from the National Weather Service

Changes from previous briefing
• The likelihood of the storm affecting our
region has once again increased over the past
24 hours.
• The potential for the storm to still retain
tropical characteristics (e.g., extremely
heavy rainfall rates, a core of very strong
winds) when it reaches our region has

increased over the past 24 hours.

• Potential continues for a very dangerous autumn storm system to affect the region
early next week.
• This storm will be associated with what is currently Hurricane Sandy. This storm, if
it moves toward us, will bring multiple threats to the region:
• Strong damaging wind gusts
• Extremely heavy rainfall
• Major flooding along streams and rivers
• Major coastal flooding (full moon occurs on October 29)
