Isaias is moving\ntoward the north-northeast near 15 mph (24 km/h). A turn toward the\nnorth is expected later today. On the forecast track, Isaias is\nexpected to approach the U.S. northern Gulf Coast this afternoon and\nmake landfall within the warning area tonight or early Saturday.\n \nData from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate \nthat maximum sustained winds are near 110 mph (175 km/h) with higher \ngusts.  Isaias is likely to become a major hurricane this morning \nand remain a dangerous hurricane at landfall this evening or \ntonight.\n \nHurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from\nthe center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 185\nmiles (295 km).\n \nThe minimum central pressure based on dropsonde data from the \nreconnaissance mission is 958 mb (28.29 inches).\n \n \nHAZARDS AFFECTING LAND\n----------------------\nKey messages for Isaias can be found in the Tropical Cyclone\nDiscussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT4 and WMO header WTNT44 KNHC.\n \nSTORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the\ntide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by\nrising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could\nreach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated\nareas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...\n \nSanta Rosa/Okaloosa County Line, FL to Grayton Beach, FL...6-9 ft\nDauphin Island, AL to Santa Rosa/Okaloosa County Line, FL...5-7 ft\nGrayton Beach, FL to Indian Pass, FL...4-7 ft\nIndian Pass, FL to Steinhatchee River, FL...4-6 ft\nSteinhatchee River, FL to Suwannee River, FL...3-5 ft\nMouth of the Mississippi River, LA to Dauphin Island, AL...3-5 ft\nMobile Bay...3-5 ft\nSuwannee River, FL to Yankeetown, FL...2-4 ft\n \nThe deepest water will occur along the immediate coast in areas of\nonshore winds, where the surge will be accompanied by large and\ndangerous waves. Surge-related flooding depends on the relative\ntiming of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over\nshort distances. For information specific to your area, please see\nproducts issued by your local National Weather Service forecast\noffice.\n \nFor a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge inundation,\nplease see the National Weather Service Peak Storm Surge Graphic,\navailable at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?peakSurge.\n \nWIND: Hurricane conditions are expected within the Hurricane Warning\narea tonight into early Saturday, with tropical storm conditions\nbeginning later today. Tropical storm conditions are expected in\nthe warning areas beginning in the next few hours.\n \nRAINFALL:  Through the weekend, Isaias is expected to produce\nrainfall amounts of 4 to 8 inches across southern Alabama, the\nFlorida Panhandle and Big Bend, and southwest Georgia. Localized\ntotals up to 15 inches are possible, particularly within banding\nacross the Florida Panhandle and Big Bend.\n \nAcross much of the remainder of the Southeast, rainfall amounts of 2\nto 5 inches are expected.  Localized higher amounts up to 10 inches\nare possible, especially across the Southern Appalachians and\ncoastal Carolinas.\n \nFlash and urban flooding is likely across the region, with\nconsiderable impacts possible across much of southern Alabama and\nthe Florida Panhandle into southwestern Georgia. River flooding is\nalso expected, some of which could be significant.\n \nFor a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with\nIsaias, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall\nGraphic available at\nhurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?rainqpf and the Flash Flood Risk\ngraphic at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?ero.\n \nTORNADOES: A tornado risk will begin late this afternoon and\ncontinue tonight in coastal areas of Alabama, the Florida Panhandle,\nand far southwest Georgia. The tornado threat will continue Saturday\nacross parts of eastern Alabama, the Florida Panhandle, Georgia, and\nthe Carolinas.\n \nSURF: Swells from Isaias are affecting the western and northern\nportions of the Yucatan Peninsula and will spread northward toward\nthe Gulf Coast later today. These swells are likely to cause\nlife-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult\nproducts from your local weather office.\n \nA depiction of rip current risk for the United States can be found\nat: hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?ripCurrents\n \n \nNEXT ADVISORY\n-------------\nNext complete advisory at 1000 AM CDT.\n \n"}
