The graphic depicts the potential impact from tropical cyclone floods across the specified area valid through the event. It is based on the likelihood of rainfall amounts exceeding flood guidance for the local area.
Important Note: Worded expressions describe the expected impact relative to the latest forecast conditions, while Graphic expressions convey the potential impact relative to the uncertainty of forecast conditions.
Prepare for the likelihood of minor flooding of low lying areas, with little or no property damage. Some flood prone-roads may be closed for brief periods of time.
Moderate
Prepare for the likelihood of moderate flooding and flash flooding, resulting in some road closures. Some low lying structures may be flooded.
High
Prepare for the likelihood of widespread flooding and flash flooding. Extensive damage to buildings and some transportation systems from high water and debris is likely, resulting in many short-term road closures. Some secondary roads may experience long-term road closures.
Extreme
Prepare for the likelihood of widespread record or near record flooding and flash flooding. Extreme and long-lasting damage to buildings and transportation systems from high water and debris is likely, resulting in many long-term road closures.
