First named storm of season, TS Andrea, forms in Gulf of Mexico ~DisasterMap.net
Tropical Cyclone Storm Surge Probabilities:
Chance of Storm Surge >= 2 feet (NGVD-1929) at individual locations
Tropical Storm Andrea (2013) Advisory 3
For the 77 hours from 05 AM EDT Thu Jun 06 to 10 AM EDT Sun Jun 09
A storm surge of 2 - 4 feet is
predicted for Tampa Bay northward to Apalachicola, and rip currents will
be a risk for swimmers who brave the high surf. Fort Pickens, located
in Gulf Islands National Seashore on a barrier island offshore from
Pensacola, Florida, has been closed to visitors due to the approaching
storm. A single 2-lane road vulnerable to storm surges runs to Fort
Pickens. Officials want to prevent a repeat of the situation that
occurred in September 2011, when Tropical Storm Lee pushed a storm surge
over the road that blocked it with sand and debris, trapping numerous
campers and visitors in Fort Pickens.
