As far as any life-threatening effects from Danny, we’re likely to see heavy surf and rip currents. This definitely means stay off the water (no boating!) and stay out of the water (no swimming past knee deep!). We lost two people on Friday to the sea…and the ocean will definitely be more dangerous for Saturday! Tidal flooding should be relatively minimal.

Otherwise, Danny’s going to be a rain-maker. Bands of tropical rain are moving northward through the region and will likely continue into Saturday morning. Some of these rain bands could produce torrential downpours with 1″-2″ of rain per hour; that kind of quick downpour could create some localized street flooding. Thankfully, it’s overnight and on Saturday morning…and not during a weekday rush hour.

I’ll be on-duty following the stormy weather through around 3:00 AM, Saturday. At that time, Jeremy Wheeler will be in to monitor the situation. We’re not really expecting any weather that’s too terribly dangerous…just an abundance of caution. And we’re here for you, if needed.
