SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for... * South Santee River South Carolina to Cape Lookout North Carolina Interests elsewhere in eastern North Carolina and Virginia should monitor the progress of Ana. For storm information specific to your area, including possible inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK ------------------------------ At 1100 PM EDT (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Ana was located near latitude 33.2 North, longitude 78.3 West. Ana is moving toward the north-northwest near 5 mph (7 km/h). A turn toward the north and northeast with a gradual increase in forward speed is expected over the next 48 hours. On the forecast track, the center of Ana is expected to reach the coast of northeastern South Carolina or southern North Carolina late tonight or early Sunday morning. Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts. Gradual weakening is forecast to begin overnight as Ana moves over cooler waters close to the coast. A more rapid rate of weakening should begin after the center moves inland. Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 125 miles (205 km) from the center. NOAA buoy 41013, located about 35 miles (55 km) south-southeast of Cape Fear North Carolina, has recently reported sustained winds of 47 mph (76 km/h) with a gust to 60 mph (97 km/h). The latest minimum central pressure reported by an Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft was 1000 mb (29.53 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected within portions of the warning area overnight and on Sunday. STORM SURGE: The combination of storm surge and the tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters. The water could reach 1 to 2 ft above ground at times of high tide in coastal areas from Cape Hatteras, North Carolina southward through South Carolina. For information specific to your area, please see products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. RAINFALL: Ana is expected to produce rainfall accumulations of 2 to 4 inches, with isolated maximum amounts of 6 inches over eastern portions of North Carolina and South Carolina through Monday. SURF: Swells generated by Ana are affecting portions of the southeastern U.S. coast. These swells will likely cause life- threatening surf and rip currents. Please see statements issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next intermediate advisory at 200 AM EDT. Next complete advisory at 500 AM EDT. $$ Forecaster Brown/Kimberlain
