Watches out for coast, down to 105mph, NNW at 8mph

AT 11 AM EDT...1500Z...A HURRICANE WATCH IS IN EFFECT FROM LITTLE
RIVER INLET SOUTH CAROLINA TO CHINCOTEAGUE VIRGINIA...INCLUDING THE
PAMLICO AND ALBEMARLE SOUNDS...CHESAPEAKE BAY SOUTH OF NORTH BEACH
MARYLAND...AND THE TIDAL POTOMAC. A HURRICANE WATCH MEANS THAT
HURRICANE CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE WITHIN THE WATCH AREA...GENERALLY
WITHIN 36 HOURS.


ISABEL IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTH-NORTHWEST NEAR 8 MPH AND THIS
MOTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS.


MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE DECREASED AND ARE NOW NEAR 105
MPH...WITH HIGHER GUSTS. THIS MAKES ISABEL A CATEGORY TWO
HURRICANE ON THE SAFFIR-SIMPSON HURRICANE SCALE. WHILE SOME
FURTHER WEAKENING IS EXPECTED TODAY...CONDITIONS COULD BECOME
FAVORABLE FOR RESTRENGTHENING PRIOR TO LANDFALL.


Interesting, waiting for the discussion
