MULTIPLE HAZARDS STILL REMAIN**\n\nNEW INFORMATION\n---------------\n\n* CHANGES TO WATCHES AND WARNINGS:\n    - A Tropical Storm Warning has been issued and the Hurricane \n      Warning has been cancelled for Central Walton, Coastal Bay, \n      Coffee, Geneva, Holmes, Inland Bay, North Walton, South Walton, \n      and Washington\n\n* CURRENT WATCHES AND WARNINGS:\n    - A Storm Surge Warning and Tropical Storm Warning are in effect \n      for Coastal Bay, Coastal Franklin, Coastal Gulf, Coastal \n      Jefferson, Coastal Wakulla, and South Walton\n    - A Storm Surge Warning is in effect for Coastal Dixie and \n      Coastal Taylor\n    - A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for Baker, Calhoun, \n      Calhoun, Central Walton, Clay, Coffee, Colquitt, Dale, Decatur, \n      Dougherty, Early, Gadsden, Geneva, Grady, Henry, Holmes, \n      Houston, Inland Bay, Inland Franklin, Inland Gulf, Inland \n      Jefferson, Inland Wakulla, Jackson, Lee, Leon, Miller, \n      Mitchell, North Walton, Northern Liberty, Quitman, Randolph, \n      Seminole, Southern Liberty, Terrell, Thomas, Washington, and \n      Worth\n\n* STORM INFORMATION:\n    - About 110 miles north-northwest of Panama City or about 150 \n      miles northwest of Apalachicola\n    - 31.5N 86.5W\n    - Storm Intensity 65 mph\n    - Movement North or 355 degrees at 20 mph\n\nSITUATION OVERVIEW\n------------------\n\nAt 2 AM ET, Post-Tropical Cyclone Isaias was moving north at 20 mph\nover Southern Alabama with max sustained winds of 65 mph. All prior\nHurricane Warnings have been replaced by Tropical Storm Warnings to\naccount for lingering gusty winds occasionally to around 40 mph or\nhigher. Other pre-existing hazards remain in effect through this\nintermediate advisory cycle.\n\nA Storm Surge Warning continues across all of our Florida Panhandle\nand Big Bend coast until later this morning for inundation values of\n2 to 4 feet above normally dry ground. Coastal saltwater flooding may\nlinger through Saturday from persistent onshore flow.\n\nVery heavy rain was observed earlier this evening mainly along and\njust east of Isaias' track. Radar-estimated amounts highlight a swath\nof 7 to 8 inches from coastal Walton County, FL into western Geneva,\nand Coffee County, AL with isolated amounts in excess of 10 inches.\nStanding water is likely at those locations. Although much of the\nflooding rain threat has subsided, additional bands of showers with\nembedded heavy rain are expected to redevelop later this morning and\nfocus across the Forgotten Coast, Florida Big Bend, and I-75 corridor.\nA Flood Watch remains in effect areawide until this evening.\n\nThe tornado risk has also diminished substantially this evening, but\nthere is another window of opportunity for potential tornadic\ncirculations within the aforementioned bands through this afternoon.\n\nDespite the overall improved weather conditions, residents are urged\nto remain vigilant with respect to damage in the form of downed trees\nand power lines, in addition to any standing water from flooding\nrains, and continued hazardous beach conditions.\n\nPOTENTIAL IMPACTS\n-----------------\n\n* FLOODING RAIN:\nPotential impacts from the flooding rain are still ongoing across \nparts of the Tri-state area. Remain well guarded against life-\nthreatening flood waters having possible devastating impacts. If \nrealized, these impacts include:\n    - Extreme rainfall flooding may prompt numerous evacuations and \n      rescues.\n    - Rivers and tributaries may overwhelmingly overflow their banks \n      in many places with deep moving water. Small streams, creeks, and\n      ditches may become raging rivers. Flood control systems and \n      barriers may become stressed.\n    - Flood waters can enter numerous structures within multiple \n      communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or washed \n      away. Numerous places where flood waters may cover escape routes.\n      Streets and parking lots become rivers of raging water with \n      underpasses submerged. Driving conditions become very dangerous. \n      Numerous road and bridge closures with some weakened or washed \n      out.\n\n* SURGE:\nPotential impacts from the main surge event are still ongoing across \nthe Florida Panhandle and Big Bend coast. Remain well away from life-\nthreatening surge having possible significant impacts. If realized, \nthese impacts include:\n    - Areas of inundation with storm surge flooding accentuated by \n      waves. Damage to several buildings, mainly near the coast.\n    - Sections of near-shore escape routes and secondary roads become \n      weakened or washed out, especially in usually vulnerable low \n      spots.\n    - Major beach erosion with heavy surf breaching dunes. Strong and \n      numerous rip currents.\n    - Moderate damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers. \n      Several small craft broken away from moorings, especially in \n      unprotected anchorages.\n\n* TORNADOES:\nPotential impacts from tornadoes possibly unfold across the Florida \nBig Bend and parts of southwest Georgia. Remain well braced against a \ndangerous tornado event having possible significant impacts. If \nrealized, these impacts include:\n    - The occurrence of scattered tornadoes can hinder the execution \n      of emergency plans during tropical events.\n    - Several places may experience tornado damage with a few spots of\n      considerable damage, power loss, and communications failures.\n    - Locations could realize roofs torn off frame houses, mobile \n      homes demolished, boxcars overturned, large trees snapped or \n      uprooted, vehicles tumbled, and small boats tossed about. \n      Dangerous projectiles can add to the toll.\n\n* WIND:\nPotential impacts from the main wind event are ongoing across much of \nthe Tri-state area. Remain well sheltered from strong to gusty winds \nhaving possible devastating impacts. If realized, these impacts \ninclude:\n    - Structural damage to sturdy buildings, some with complete roof \n      and wall failures. Complete destruction of mobile homes. Damage \n      greatly accentuated by large airborne projectiles. Locations may \n      be uninhabitable for weeks or months.\n    - Numerous large trees snapped or uprooted along with fences and \n      roadway signs blown over.\n    - Many roads impassable from large debris, and more within urban \n      or heavily wooded places. Many bridges, causeways, and access \n      routes impassable.\n    - Widespread power and communications outages.\n\nPRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS\n----------------------------------\n\n* EVACUATIONS:\nFollow the advice of local officials\n\n* OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION:\n\nKeep your cell phone charged and in power-saving mode. If you lose \npower, use it sparingly and mainly for personal emergencies and \ncheck-ins.\n\nDo not be a thrill seeker or risk your life for senseless photos or \nvideos.\n\nIf you are prone to flooding or in an area under a storm surge watch \nor warning, be prepared for the possibility of a quick and dramatic \nrise in water levels.\n\n\n* ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF INFORMATION:\n- For information on appropriate preparations see ready.gov\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 Tallahassee FL around 6 AM EDT, or sooner if conditions \nwarrant.\n\n"}
