Tropical Hurricane Isaias

Insane rates now going to bust the 2-4” forecast with this initial upslope
 
I feel like the bust potential here is on the upside. We are expecting a strong TS and gusts 40 to 50s and a few inches of rain.

If this intensifies up to landfall and makes it back to even 75 to 80mph then our weather only increases.

You can clearly see the afternoon convection in the West side bands over FL, and the Eastern GOM flare and rapid east moving blow off from the cells including one near the convection blob that is Isaias...

With that side, RECON has found a large area of 65kt+ FL Level vectors well away from the LLC closer to the mid level center.

The shear is keeping Isaias in check meanwhile seemingly giving Isaias an environment to produce exceptionally strong convection
 
Based on ATCF, like the next advisory is going to peg Isaias as a 60 kt/70 mph tropical storm w/ a minimum central pressure of 994mb. Hurricane warnings may be on the way for parts of southern North & South Carolina

This expanding windfield on the east side could play havoc as this thing rides up 95.

I think us here (by looking at current model runs) are going to be too far east to catch anything bad.

That's what I am worried about, too. What's it going to do in between Florida and here, especially with the track once it comes in NC.

Could we see heavy rain in Clarendon and Orangeburg counties in SC? I’m confused because now models are moving the rain toward the coast.
 
westerly shear still strong, look at the thunderstorms tops on the west coast of Florida getting blown off....so holding steady is about the best one could expect and if the MLC flare ups back off at all this is a naked swirl again...still if it can maintain for another 12-18 hrs there will be a window for this thing to get its crap together into landfall.

I said the same thing on the last page,?
Yeah, it's undercutting shear beneath the outflow higher up.

That same shear though seems to be aiding in vigorous convection. Isaias has a stout circulation and PWATS exceed 3"!

It comes down now to how far west the LLC can get before the recurve back begins...

Yeah at this point I no longer think the LLC will tuck under or be pulled under the MLC. Just too much shear. If the LLC doesnt turn north by the time it reaches the space coast then it will have alot less.water to work with once it turns that corner and starts heading north.

I think with the trajectory of the coastline and current stirring currents, it stays offshore, maybe just offshore but should stay over water imho

It does look better but it’s getting blasted as well by shear. Those tops are getting sheared off quickly once they go up over FL right now. I still think this is a big deal for y’all in the Carolinas.

Interests elsewhere along the northeast coast of the United States
should monitor the progress of Isaias. Additional watches or
warnings may be required tonight or early Monday.

A Storm Surge Warning means there is a danger of life-threatening
inundation, from rising water moving inland from the coastline,
during the next 36 hours in the indicated locations. For a depiction
of areas at risk, please see the National Weather Service Storm
Surge Watch/Warning Graphic at hurricanes.gov. This is a
life-threatening situation. Persons located within these areas
should take all necessary actions to protect life and property from
rising water and the potential for other dangerous conditions.
Promptly follow evacuation and other instructions from local
officials.

A Storm Surge Watch means there is a possibility of life-
threatening inundation, from rising water moving inland from the
coastline, in the indicated locations during the next 48 hours.

A Hurricane Watch means that hurricane conditions are possible
within the watch area. A watch is typically issued 48 hours
before the anticipated first occurrence of tropical-storm-force
winds, conditions that make outside preparations difficult or
dangerous.

A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are
expected somewhere within the warning area, generally within 36
hours.

A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are
possible within the watch area, generally within 48 hours.

For storm information specific to your area in the United
States, including possible inland watches and warnings, please
monitor products issued by your local National Weather Service
forecast office. For storm information specific to your area
outside of the United States, please monitor products issued by
your national meteorological service.
Hurricane watches up for portions of the North Carolina coast.
