Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT5 and WMO header WTNT45 KNHC

RAINFALL: Tammy is expected to produce an additional 1 to 3 inches
of rainfall across portions of the British Virgin Islands, the
Leeward Islands, and the northern Windward Islands through this
morning, bringing storm total maximum amounts to 12 inches in the
Leeward Islands. These rains may produce isolated flash and urban
flooding, along with isolated mudslides in areas of higher terrain.

SURF: Swells generated by Tammy will continue to affect portions of
the Leeward Islands, the British and U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto
Rico during the next few days. These swells are likely to cause
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult
