The tracks right on the coast will keep winds down W of the center and the storm will be pretty lopsided ( assuming it makes it through the night lol) and a lot of these wind maps are very generous given the modeled tracks...the Ukie and HMON 12Z tracks are the ones to watch out for at least up NC way for a big widespread wind event....that last 12-24 hrs will be painfully long especially if the storm is doing crazy stuff.....
Expecting Isaias to eventually become increasingly more N-S vs W-E asymmetrical as it moves north of Florida. Definitely gonna have to watch how fast it moves away from the Florida coast and interacts with the jet to its north, certainly could be a decent bout of intensification before it strikes the Carolinas (presuming it ever goes back over water).
Pressure is dropping this ain't dead yet
Finding some 60kt winds on recon.
It is worth noting that if the HRRR is right again (as it had Isaias starting to look better around this time) it has Isaias looking like this in about 11 hours:

And has some steady development through the night, so we'll see what happens.
Weird, lightning production may be from the drier air aloft (cooling aloft for lightning production from the dry air entrainment) ? Idk but that lightning is ridiculous
