    been discontinued.

    The Hurricane Warning west of the Alabama/Florida line has been
    discontinued.

    The Hurricane Warning from east of the Alabama/Florida line to the

    Warning.

    SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT:

    A Storm Surge Warning is in effect for...
    * Santa Rosa/Okaloosa County Line to the Suwannee River

    A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for...
    * East of Alabama/Florida Line to Aucilla River, FL

    A Storm Surge Warning means there is a danger of life-threatening
    inundation, from rising water moving inland from the coastline. For
    a depiction of areas at risk, please see the National Weather
    Service Storm Surge Watch/Warning Graphic, available 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 Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are
    expected somewhere within the warning area.

    For storm information specific to your area, including possible
    inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your
    local National Weather Service forecast office.


    DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
    ----------------------
    At 100 AM CDT (0600 UTC), the center of Post-Tropical Cyclone Isaias
    was located near latitude 31.5 North, longitude 86.5 West. The
    post-tropical cyclone is moving toward the north near 20 mph (31
    km/h), and this general motion is expected today. A motion toward
    the north-northeast or northeast is forecast on Sunday. On the
    forecast track, Isaias is expected to move across Alabama and into
    the Tennessee Valley later today and Sunday.

    Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 65 mph (100 km/h)
    with higher gusts. Continued weakening is expected, but Isaias is
    expected to continue producing gusty winds well inland before
    weakening below gale force later today.

    Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 160 miles (260 km)
    from the center.

    The estimated minimum central pressure is 1000 mb (29.53 inches).


    HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
    ----------------------
    Key messages for Isaias can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
    Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT4 and WMO header WTNT44 KNHC.

    STORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the
    tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by
    rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could
    reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated
    areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...

    Santa Rosa/Okaloosa County Line, FL to Suwannee River, FL...2-4 ft

    The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast in areas of
    onshore winds, where the surge will be accompanied by large and
    dangerous waves. Surge-related flooding depends on the relative
    timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over
    short distances. For information specific to your area, please see
    products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast
    office.

    For a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge inundation,
    please see the National Weather Service Peak Storm Surge Graphic,
    available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?peakSurge.

    WIND: Tropical storm conditions are ongoing in the tropical storm
    warning area for the next several hours.

    RAINFALL: Through the weekend, Isaias is expected to produce
    rainfall amounts of 4 to 8 inches across southern Alabama, the
    Florida Panhandle and Big Bend, and southwest Georgia. Localized
    totals up to 15 inches are possible, particularly within banding
    across the Florida Panhandle and Big Bend.

    Across much of the remainder of the Southeast, rainfall amounts of 2
    to 5 inches are expected. Localized higher amounts up to 10 inches
    are possible, especially across the Southern Appalachians and
    coastal Carolinas.

    Flash, urban, and river flooding is possible across the region, with considerable impacts likely across much of southern Alabama and the
    Florida Panhandle into southwestern Georgia. Considerable flash
    flooding and landslides are also possible across the Southern
    Appalachians.

    For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with
    Isaias, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall
    Graphic available at
    hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?rainqpf and the Flash Flood Risk
    graphic at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?ero.

    TORNADOES: A risk for tornadoes will persist overnight across the
    Florida Panhandle and north Florida into southern Georgia. The
    tornado threat will continue today across parts of the Florida
    Panhandle, Georgia, and the Carolinas.

    SURF: Swells from Isaias are affecting much of the Gulf coasts of
    the United States, Mexico, and western Cuba. These swells are
    likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
    Please consult products from your local weather office.

    A depiction of rip current risk for the United States can be found
    at: hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?ripCurrents
