DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 200 PM EDT (1800 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Ana was
located near latitude 34.1 North, longitude 78.9 West. Ana has been
nearly stationary over the past few hours, but a slow northward
movement is expected to resume later today. A turn toward the
northeast with a gradual increase in forward speed is expected over
the next 48 hours. On the forecast track, the center of Ana will
move over eastern North Carolina later today and overnight.
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 35 mph (55 km/h)
with higher gusts. Additional gradual weakening is expected during
the next day or so.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1006 mb (29.71 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
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. These above-normal water level conditions
should diminish during the next day or so. 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 northeast 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. The swells and surf
are expected to gradually diminish during the next day or two.
Please see statements issued by your local National Weather Service
forecast office.
