* The first map will usually be issued at the same time as the initial hurricane
watch or, in some cases, with a tropical storm watch. The map is based on the
latest forecast track and intensity for the tropical cyclone, and takes into account
likely forecast errors
* The map shows inundation levels that have a 10 percent chance of being
exceeded, and can therefore be thought of as representing a reasonable worst
case scenario for any given location
* The map is subject to change every six hours in association with every new NHC
full advisory package. Due to the processing time required to produce the map, it
will not be available until about 45 to 60 minutes following the advisory release.
