Tropical Hurricane Isaias

[Arcc]

It may have leveled off for now, but by the way it's tracking (eastward), isn't it tracking the way it needs to so far to avoid the worst impacts of the shear and for any weakening before landfall to be slight?

Right.

Wouldn't be surprised to see the possibility of it cracking 120-125kts looking at IR. This thing is cranking.

I'd be curious how large the TS wind field ends up getting ultimately. It's grown massively in the last day.

Gonna be moving every vehicle into the large open field. I'm not car hunting again because of a tree.

What’s your assessment of how the day evolves in Tuscaloosa tomorrow based on recent trends?

This storm, given the pressure gradient, will bring near-tropical storm gusts all the way to the coastal Carolinas IMO. Nothing crazy, but still.

Panhandle landfall looking more and more possible.

A cold night

I think it depends on how fast they can clean up fallen trees and restore power.

You think power outages are a given that side of the state?

I feel like the coast and Southern areas of Alabama could clearly see some damage and power outages, but all these 10M wind maps seem to never verify up this way IMO. I mean we survived Ivan with power the whole time. I may be completely wrong, but we will see how this evolves for all the inland areas. I also may be doing some wishful thinking due to my love for the crimson tide, lol.

Soils are also pretty dry considering the drought and how little rain we have had lately.

I would think that its a good possibility. Even with the stronger winds being NE, I bet close to the COC you will still have 40-50mph gusts.

If the storm continues to trend east, Tuscaloosa may end up on the west side of the remaining core of the storm as it move through the state. May not be as great of storm damage if that were to occur possibly.

It has that look on IR.
