    Little change in strength is forecast during the next 48 hours.

    The estimated minimum central pressure is 1007 mb (29.74 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.

    RAINFALL: Rainfall totals of 3 to 6 inches with localized maximum
    amounts of 10 inches are possible across the Southern Appalachians
    from northeast Georgia into the western Carolinas and from the upper
    coast of South Carolina into eastern North Carolina. Additional
    rainfall totals of 1 to 2 inches possible across the remainder of
    the Southeast into northern Florida.

    Flash, urban, and river flooding is possible across the region, with considerable impacts, including landslides, possible across the
    southern Appalachians. Significant river flooding across the western
    Florida Panhandle will crest today through Sunday.

    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 couple of tornadoes are possible today across eastern
    Georgia and the Carolinas.

    WIND: Strong wind gusts continue to pose a threat across the
    southeastern United States today, particularly near the Southern
    Appalachians. Scattered power outages and downed trees and
    powerlines may occur, with the risk highest in elevated terrain.

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