Potential Tropical Cyclone Four Information. Impacts may occur as early as Tuesday or Wednesday. Our first briefing is emphasizing that heavy rain, flooding and rip currents are the main threats as of now. In addition, our impacts may last a few days especially if the potential storm slows down or even stalls near our area.

Do NOT let your guard down based on an intensity forecast of a Tropical Storm. Check back for updates as this may change AND, regardless of storm intensity, heavy rain is possible.

Remember you can get the latest information from our local tropical page: https://www.weather.gov/mhx/tropical or the National Hurricane Center.
