7/6/21 @ 10:15 a.m. - Emergency Management Director, Greg Foster, participated in a briefing this morning with the National Hurricane Center and determined that very little has changed with TS Elsa since our update yesterday afternoon. The storm continues on a track that will take Elsa to the west of Nassau County. The NHC indicated that the storm may intensify into a Hurricane "briefly" as it approaches the west cost of Florida near Cedar Key.
There are currently no storm watches along the east coast of Florida. Locally, we are still expecting a 1-2 foot storm surge along the coast and 2-4 inches of rain. It has been said that Nassau County should expect conditions equivalent to a strong thunderstorm. It is still anticipated that Nassau County will begin seeing some deterioration of weather conditions late this afternoon into tomorrow morning.
Emergency Management remains prepared to activate the Emergency Operations Center if needed and has a shelter on stand-by. They will continue to monitor the storm as the forecast remains fluid at this time.
If you have any questions, Emergency Management can be reached at (904) 548-0900. Residents are also encouraged to monitor TS Elsa through reliable sources like the local news, National Hurricane Center, National Media or Nassau County Emergency Management at www.OneNassau.com.
