Tropical Hurricane Isaias

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

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

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.

Thanks. The point some of us have been making is the double standard being applied regarding the concern for the attendees in Tuscaloosa vs that for those in Atlanta:

Tuscaloosa: SATURDAY
TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS POSSIBLE. SHOWERS, COOLER
WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 70S. NORTHEAST WINDS 25 TO 30 MPH WITH
GUSTS UP TO 45 MPH, BECOMING SOUTH 10 TO 15 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO
30 MPH IN THE AFTERNOON. CHANCE OF RAIN NEAR 100 PERCENT.


Atlanta: SATURDAY
SHOWERS. A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THE
MORNING, THEN A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON. BREEZY
WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER 70S. EAST WINDS 15 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS
UP TO 50 MPH. CHANCE OF RAIN NEAR 100 PERCENT.

—————

As one can see, the forecast is actually much worse for the afternoon gametime in ATL for Duke/GT than it is not just for the evening gametime in Tuscaloosa but even during the tailgating time in Tuscaloosa well before the game even starts!

So, gusts to 50 with possible thunderstorms/heavy rain and even a slight chance for a tornado in ATL for the game itself vs gusts only to 30, much lighter rain, and no thunderstorms in Tuscaloosa during the entire PM tailgating period well before the game even starts!
 
10% tornado probabilities for the Florida panhandle today and threat expands north into tomorrow. SPC mentioned consideration for adding a CIG1 for saturday. WSBTV got to be sweating bullets about the possibility of having to break in for tornado warnings tomorrow evening.1791556871984.png

Hard to believe as fast as this thing will be moving, they have the tornado risk dropping off below Atlanta.
