    HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
    ----------------------
    Key messages for Tropical Depression Two can be found in the
    Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT2 and WMO
    header WTNT42 KNHC.

    WIND: Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch
    area by late Monday.

    STORM SURGE: The combination of storm surge and the tide will
    cause normally dry areas near the immediate coast to be flooded by
    rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could
    reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated
    areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...

    Indian Pass to Chassahowitzka, FL...1 to 3 ft

    The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast.
    Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge
    and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances. For information specific to your area, please see products issued by
    your local National Weather Service forecast office.

    For a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge
    inundation, please see the National Weather Service Peak
    Storm Surge Graphic, available at
    hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?peakSurge.

    RAINFALL: The tropical depression is expected to produce rainfall
    amounts of 2 to 4 inches with locally higher totals around 8 inches
    through Thursday along the eastern and central Gulf Coast from
    western Florida to southern portions of Alabama, Mississippi, and
    Louisiana. This rainfall may produce areas of flash flooding,
    especially in urban areas.

    For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with
    Tropical Depression Two, please see the National Weather Service
    Storm Total Rainfall Graphic available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?rainqpf and the Flash Flood Risk
