The primary impacts with Isaias' remnants here in the \nMid-South will be gusty winds and periods of heavy rainfall. The latest\nforecast from the NHC does have Isaias impacting portions of the Mid- \nSouth at Tropical Storm strength. Though there still exists uncertainty\nwith the overall impacts, storm track, and intensity this far inland, \nfour of our counties are now in a Tropical Storm Warning through \ntomorrow afternoon with wind gusts in excess of 40 mph in these areas. \nThese areas will also see rainfall amounts up to 3\".\n\n\nPOTENTIAL IMPACTS\n-----------------\n\n* FLOODING RAIN:\nProtect against dangerous rainfall flooding having possible significant\nimpacts across northeast Mississippi. Potential impacts include:\n    - Moderate rainfall flooding may prompt several evacuations and \n      rescues.\n    - Rivers and tributaries may quickly become swollen with swifter \n      currents and overspill their banks in a few places, especially \n      in usually vulnerable spots. Small streams, creeks, canals, \n      arroyos, and ditches overflow.\n    - Flood waters can enter some structures or weaken foundations. \n      Several places may experience expanded areas of rapid \n      inundation at underpasses, low-lying spots, and poor drainage \n      areas. Some streets and parking lots take on moving water as \n      storm drains and retention ponds overflow. Driving conditions \n      become hazardous. Some road and bridge closures.\n\nProtect against locally hazardous rainfall flooding having possible \nlimited impacts across northeast Mississippi.\n\n* WIND:\nProtect against hazardous wind having possible limited impacts across\nnortheast Mississippi. Potential impacts in this area include:\n    - Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored \n      mobile homes. Unsecured lightweight objects blown about.\n    - Many large tree limbs broken off. A few trees snapped or \n      uprooted, but with greater numbers in places where trees are \n      shallow rooted. Some fences and roadway signs blown over.\n    - A few roads impassable from debris, particularly within urban \n      or heavily wooded places. Hazardous driving conditions on \n      bridges and other elevated roadways.\n    - Scattered power and communications outages.\n\nElsewhere across Mid-South, little to no impact is anticipated.\n\n* ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF INFORMATION:\n- For information on appropriate preparations see ready.gov\n- For information on creating an emergency plan see getagameplan.org\n- For additional disaster preparedness information see redcross.org\n\nNEXT UPDATE\n-----------\n\nThe next local statement will be issued by the National Weather \nService in Memphis TN as conditions warrant.\n\n"}
