Latest cone.

Honestly, I would not want to be close to the Jersey shore or Long Island for this one. That said, I think we will actually get a lot of benefit from this storm looking at the rainfall forecasts over the next week. A lot of tropical rain.

Cool, we'll be in Virginia beach next week, two years in a row where it rained the entire time.

The Mount Holly NWS office is predicting 2-4 inches of rain for most of the Eastern Seaboard from this, with locally higher amounts. @Morkle That sucks man. It won't ruin your whole week but the red flags will definitely be up on the beach for a while.

If the track holds you guys will be pretty darn close to the center. Let me tell you, I always thought tropical storms were "weak" compared to hurricanes until I rode one out in the OBX. Really made me appreciate just how destructive and powerful those storms are.

The track reminds me of that hurricane from a year or two ago that was similarly bearing down on Florida and just brushed it. Dorian from last year I think.

Matthew had a very similar track. I can remember staying up for the 1am advisory the night before it was due to make landfall and impact Orlando. I saw the wobble east and went to bed that nite knowing we’d be good. Looking forward to a similar wobble this time.

So apparently it’s slow moving and weakened to a tropical storm, but it’s moving slow enough it could go back to being a hurricane?

Between how long this thing is forecast to maintain tropical storm intensity, on top of the torrential rain up the entire seaboard, I am guessing a lot of trees are coming down.

Wind is even more impressive on the latest advisory. Interesting read on why this thing is *not* going to weaken quickly over land like most tropical storms would.
After landfall, Isaias is forecast to only slowly weaken due to
interaction with an unusually strong winter-type jetstream that will
be possessing winds of 100-120 kt. Expected strong baroclinic
forcing will keep Isaias' circulation intact and also produce very
strong wind gusts along the Mid-Atlantic states tomorrow. As a
result, the gust factors at 24-48 h have been increased above the
standard 20 percent in the Forecast/Advisory (TCMAT4). The cyclone
is forecast to be absorbed by a larger extratropical low over Canada
in 3-4 days.
Probabilities of sustained tropical storm force winds. This has bumped up significantly.

We’ve only been under a flood watch, but next county over (15 minute drive) is under a tropical storm watch.

Awful.

Horry County is Myrtle Beach, Ocean Isle is in NC. Depending on where those units came from in SC, it’s 40-50 minutes away. :shock:

We skirted two bands almost perfectly. No rain or wind after the downpour that canceled my son’s soccer practice. :lol:

It has been a wild morning here. We are pushing 6" of rain on the gauge since last night. The center of Isaias is tracking about 40 miles south of me, and I think it's going to end up tracking closer to us than initially thought. Power flickered for a while about an hour ago but it has held on, as has cable and Internet.

Very grateful to have buried lines in our neighborhood.
