Public Information Statement Statement as of 10:00 am CDT on March 18, 2010
... 2010 National flood safety awareness week...
... Today is the fourth day of National flood safety awareness week
2010...
Your National Weather Service office at New Orleans/Baton Rouge
Louisiana is Happy to have your participation in the annual National
flood safety awareness week... which will continue through March
19... 2010.
The theme today... March 18... is determining flood risk and choosing
flood insurance. Everyone lives in a flood zone... with their risk of
flood ranging from low... to moderate... to high. Floods are four
times more likely to occur than a fire. In essence... low hazard
flood areas are also at risk. Each year... 25 to 35 percent of all
flood claims are paid for properties located outside of high risk
flood areas.
You may think that you are covered for flood damage. However... most
homeowners insurance policies do not cover flood damage. It only
takes a few inches of water in a home to cause thousands of dollars
in damages. Homeowners... renters... and business owners are eligible
to Purchase flood insurance as long as their community participates
in the National flood insurance program.
The National flood insurance program is a federal program
administered by the federal emergency management agency. This
program enables property owners to Purchase insurance protection
against losses from flooding. It takes 30 days after Purchase for a
policy to take effect. Therefore... it is important to buy the
insurance before the flood waters start to rise. Buy flood insurance
and stay protected.
See the federal emergency management agency web site to get more
information on the National flood insurance program... to access your
flood risk online... or find an agent close to you. The web address
is:
Www.Floodsmart.Gov
Additional information about a h p S... turn around... don't drown...
flood-related phenomena... the National flood insurance program... and
the 2007 flood safety awareness week is available at:

NWS Forecaster Discussion
815 fxus63 kpah 182032 afdpah Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Paducah Kentucky 320 PM CDT Thursday Mar 18 2010 Discussion... very nice end to the week in store as high pressure aloft will continue ridging east to west across the Ohio River valley. In addition...surface flow will finally turn southerly on Friday...which will help boost afternoon temperatures to near 70 degrees most areas. The European model (ecmwf)/GFS/latest sref model runs continue to show the weekend system slowing more...with a further southward path. This seems to have been the case all week...so decided to follow this trend and push most of the higher rain chances off until Sat night/sun/Sun night. Left a small chance of thunder in the forecast along the surface front Sat afternoon...but with the southern movement of the low...would be elevated in nature. Believe main impact will be from prolonged rainfall possibility Sat night into Sunday night. Did not go overboard on rain amounts for now...but with the prolonged potential for rainfall and the slow movement of the upper low...will need to monitor for that possibility. Sunday looks to be a raw...damp...breezy day most areas. Looking ahead to next week...slowed the storms departure a bit with a lingering pop east of the Mississippi and held onto to some clouds Monday. A great deal of inconsistency among the models with middle week system. The 12z Thursday GFS produced a different scenario than the 6z run which was about a day ahead of the 00z Thursday European model (ecmwf). The 12z European model (ecmwf) has slowed from its previous run and brings the system in more toward the end of the week. However it does have a lot of spotty saturation out ahead of the main systems arrival. The trend with all the models seems to be continually slowing systems down with each successive run. Thus will lean toward a slower solution. As for temperatures only minor tweaks to better resemble HPC guidance and collaboration. && Aviation... VFR conditions will persist. && Pah watches/warnings/advisories... Kentucky...none. MO...none. Illinois...none. In...none. && $$ Meffert/kh
