47 Key Differences in Evacuation Timing between HVX and Desktop HURREVAC 1. Tropical storm force wind arrival timing Desktop HURREVAC uses deterministic wind forecast from first 72 hours of forecast HVX uses probabilistic wind forecast from the entire 120 hour forecast 2. Evacuation Study Clearance Times Desktop HURREVAC forces user to make selection of a specific clearance time for timing calculation HVX allows user to keep a range of clearance times under consideration 3. Functionality Desktop HURREVAC s methodology is fully documented and has been tested over many storm seasons HVX evacuation timing tools are still incomplete and should not be used for operational decision making in 2018

56 Deterministic wind timing when close to landfall Wind Timing report is for all counties within the 72-hr forecast wind swath
57 Wind Timing Chart currently only available in Desktop HURREVAC
58 Single Area is an hour-byhour analysis of forecast wind conditions within one county. Single Area Report currently only available in Desktop HURREVAC
59 Probabilistic wind timing when storm is distant
60 Probabilistic wind timing when storm is distant
61 Probabilistic wind timing when storm is distant Wind Probabilities report is for all counties within the area of at least a 5% chance of tropical storm-force winds.
62 Probabilities are given as IP (CP) Individual Onset Probability is the probability of the event beginning during an individual time period (i.e. between forecast hours 72 and 96) Cumulative Probability is the probability of the event occurring any time up to a forecast hour (i.e. between forecast hours 0 and 96) X is used where a probability is less than 1%
63 The Wind Probabilities Single Location Report further breaks down the probabilities into 6-hour increments. The individual onset probability (number outside of parenthesis) represents the odds of 34/50/64kt winds occurring within the 6-hour window.

67 Inland Flooding Products
68 Storm Surge Products and Tools in HVX
69 The SLOSH Model Sea, Lake, and Overland Surges from Hurricanes A numerical model used to estimate storm surge heights for historical, hypothetical, or predicted hurricanes
70 Storm Surge vs Storm Tide STORM SURGE An abnormal rise of water generated by a storm, over and above the predicted astronomical tide. STORM TIDE The water level rise due to the combination of storm surge and the astronomical tide.
71 Storm Surge Product Schedule
72 Maximum Envelop of Water (MEOW) User selects: Category (Cat 3) Landfall direction (wnw) Forward speed (15 mph) Initial tide (High)
73 Maximum of the Maximums from Worst-case for a particular category storm Combination of many scenarios Forward speed Angle of approach Size (Radius of maximum wind) Initial tide level No single hurricane will produce the regional flooding depicted in a MOM. the MEOWs (MOM)
74 Storm-Specific Probabilistic Surge P-SURGE Based on NHC official advisory Uncertainties based on historical errors Accounts for uncertainty in: Track (landfall location) Size (Radius of Maximum Winds) Forward speed Intensity Accounts for tide Heights above ground level (P-Surge)
75 Deterministic SLOSH Limited surge threat to Pensacola area 4 feet or less Slight track shifts can mean a big difference in storm surge for bays
76 Deterministic SLOSH Significant surge threat to Pensacola area 8 feet or more Slight track shifts can mean a big difference in storm surge for bays
77 Probabilistic SLOSH (P-Surge) Considerable surge threat to Pensacola area 40-50% of 8 feet or more Slight track shifts can mean a big difference in storm surge for bays
78 Potential Storm Surge Flooding Map
79 Potential Storm Surge Flooding Map Height above ground that the water could reach Reasonable worst-case scenario for any individual location Values have a 10% chance of being exceeded Issuance with hurricane watch In some cases for a tropical storm watch Available 60+ minutes after the advisory release
80 Storm Surge Products and Tools in HVX SLOSH MOMs and MEOWs are not storm-specific and are tools that can be used at any time
81 Storm Surge Products and Tools in HVX The Potential Storm Surge Flooding Map is a live layer only and no archive exists P-Surge is archived for specific storm advisories dating back several years
82 The Weather Prediction Center s Excessive Rainfall Outlook will be added to HVX and desktop HURREVAC in the near future
83 Storm surge watches and warnings, already in desktop HURREVAC, will be added to HVX in the near future.
