ATL: ISAIAS - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[xironman]

Looking like a hurricane on the Charleston, SC radar.

Stay safe out there. Glad Ocracoke, NC evacuated as earkyvas they did.

Likely mostly just the tourists, though this year might have more evacuees than before !!!

The long term residents don't like to leave, thats for sure.

My in-laws are on Connecticut and are excited about the storm. They have a basement to take cover if tornadoes are in the area.

Living in a 'bubble' in Key West, I don't really know how the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast coast residents are reacting to the storm. I did see a New York poster concerned about surge because Isaias forecast to go through at high tide. Being a full moon also, I do rhink the surge may surprise some folks.


Edit to add Charleston, SC radar link.

It would seem to hold up better after landfall due to baroclinic enhancement from the trough.

This buoy will be valuable.

Charleston radar is showing the storm on track.
Strongest winds on the east side of the storm will remain strong enough to cause major power outage well inland.
Isaias is moving pretty fast so flash flooding will be localized.
Storm surge further north near Southport could be a concern.

Very high humidity here with temps close to 90. Dew is 78. Seeing the first signs of rainbands to my south here, pretty nasty band heading N towards D.C.

To add to that, haven't had a low below 70 since July 7th

No upgrade at 5pm, but moving NNE at 16 now.

Cat 1 or strong TS, the potential damage is probably the same. Hopefully it moves quickly on its track, and everyone stays safe in its path.

Going to be a lot of hot people tomorrow when the power is out.

With the extension of the TS Watch to the northern tip of Maine, I believe Isaias has now put the entire US East Coast under a tropical storm watch.

Rain at the rate of 5.7" per hour here right now

That's true. I think the only people the designation really matters to are insurance agents.

First squall rolled through North Topsail Beach around 3 today.

Amazingly, a couple got married on the beach at St Regis resort at 4:00 PM, with about 20 guests. I believe they said 'I do' and are on their way to happily ever after...

We had a nice heavy downpour in Newport about an hour ago. Real heavy rain maybe some gusts in the 25kts range.

yep, not sure if the keys are considered the east coast

[emeraldislenc]

Not raining here now. Very, very humid.

We're predicted to get a thunderstorm tonight as an appetizer before Isaias gets here, lol. Gonna be a lotta water falling on us in the next 24h...

I'm not sure how I should feel missing out on all this.

[WilmingtonSandbar]

According to radar, there should be a rain band coming through Southport now. and it is light rain, and not windy at all.

[WilmingtonSandbar]

Also, is it just me, or does it look like he is going more north right now, and may landfall in Georgetown SC, as opposed to the SC/NC line?
