...THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS ISSUED AN INLAND TROPICAL STORM 
WIND WARNING FOR TONIGHT...

SUSTAINED WINDS OF UP TO 35 MPH WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 50 MPH ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP TONIGHT AS TROPICAL SYSTEM CHARLEY MOVES 
THROUGH DELAWARE AND NEW JERSEY. SINCE CHARLEY IS MOVING SO RAPIDLY, 
THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR FOR LESS THAN SIX HOURS AS 
OPPOSED TO AROUND THE TWELVE HOUR DURATION WITH TROPICAL STORM 
ISABEL LAST YEAR. THESE WINDS WILL ARRIVE AS THE WEAKENING HURRICANE 
CHARLIE BECOMES A TROPICAL STORM AND MOVES UP THE EASTERN SEABOARD. 
THE STORM IS FORECAST TO CROSS THE CHESAPEAKE BAY AS A TROPICAL 
STORM AND MOVE ACROSS DELAWARE AND NEW JERSEY LATE TONIGHT, THEN 
LIFT RAPIDLY NORTHEAST INTO NEW ENGLAND ON SUNDAY.

GIVEN THE WET GROUND, THERE MAY BE MANY DOWNED TREES AND POWER LINES 
AS CHARLIE MOVES ACROSS THE REGION. THE STRONGEST AND THE LONGEST 
DURATION OF THE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR TOWARD THE COAST IN 
DELAWARE...MARYLAND AND NEW JERSEY. 

PLEASE SECURE ANY LOOSE ITEMS THAT MAY BE TOSSED BY THE WINDS. IF 
POSSIBLE...DO NOT PARK YOUR VEHICLE UNDERNEATH OR NEAR TREES. PLEASE 
BE CAREFUL WHEN USING CANDLES IN THE EVENT OF POWER OUTAGES. 

THE WIND FORECAST IS DEPENDENT UPON THE EXACT PATH AND INTENSITY OF 
CHARLEY, AND NEITHER FACTOR IS COMPLETELY CERTAIN AT THIS TIME.
PLEASE STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO, THE VOICE OF THE NATIONAL 
WEATHER SERVICE, OR TO LOCAL MEDIA FOR UPDATES ON THIS DEVELOPING 
WEATHER SITUATION.

AN INLAND TROPICAL STORM WIND WARNING IS ISSUED WHEN SUSTAINED WINDS
NEAR TROPICAL STORM FORCE...OR FREQUENT GUSTS AT OR ABOVE TROPICAL
STORM FORCE...ARE LIKELY WITHIN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS.
