.STORM INFORMATION...
AT 8 AM EDT...THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM ISAAC WAS LOCATED NEAR
LATITUDE 23.5N...LONGITUDE 80.0W. THIS WAS ABOUT 160 MILES SOUTH
OF MIAMI FL...OR ABOUT 210 MILES SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF NAPLES FL.
STORM MOTION WAS WNW OR 300 DEGREES AT 20 MPH. STORM INTENSITY
WAS 65 MPH.

.SITUATION OVERVIEW...
ALTHOUGH THE CENTER OF ISAAC WILL REMAIN SOUTH OF MAINLAND SOUTH
FLORIDA, IMPACTS WILL BE FELT FOR HUNDREDS OF MILES AWAY FROM THE
CENTER. MOST PORTIONS OF SOUTH FLORIDA WILL LIKELY EXPERIENCE
TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS WITH A REMOTE CHANCE OF HURRICANE FORCE
WINDS BEING FELT, ALTHOUGH NOT FORECAST AT THE PRESENT TIME,
ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHWEST FLORIDA COAST AND EXTREME FAR
SOUTH MIAMI-DADE MOSTLY IN THE FORM OF WIND GUSTS.

TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS ARE LIKELY TO BEGIN IMPACTING SOUTH
FLORIDA AS EARLY AS THIS MORNING ALONG THE SOUTHEAST FLORIDA COAST
AND SPREADING INLAND AND TO THE GULF COAST THIS AFTERNOON.
TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY
MONDAY ATLANTIC COAST AND THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON GULF COAST,
BEFORE CONDITIONS IMPROVE FROM EAST TO WEST.

THERE IS ALSO THE CONCERN FOR SIGNIFICANT FLOODING ACROSS
PORTIONS OF SOUTH FLORIDA TODAY THROUGH MONDAY. TOTAL RAINFALL
AMOUNTS OF 4 TO 8 INCHES ARE CURRENTLY FORECAST THROUGH MONDAY.
THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR MUCH HIGHER AMOUNTS IF RAINBANDS TRAIN
REPEATEDLY OVER THE SAME AREA AS ISAAC PASSES SOUTH OF THE AREA.
A FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL OF SOUTH FLORIDA THROUGH
EARLY MONDAY EVENING.

ANOTHER MAIN CONCERN WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR QUICK DEVELOPING
TORNADOES, WITH LITTLE OR NO ADVANCED WARNING, IN RAINBANDS WITH
THE THREAT INCREASING THIS AFTERNOON AND REMAINING THROUGH THE
NIGHT AND POTENTIALLY INTO MONDAY. A TORNADO WATCH IS IN EFFECT
FOR ALL OF MAINLAND SOUTH FLORIDA.

THERE IS STILL THE POTENTIAL FOR MAJOR COASTAL FLOODING ALONG THE
GULF COAST. LOW TO MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING IS POSSIBLE ALONG
PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHEAST FLORIDA COAST.

SURF WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD TODAY...PEAKING TONIGHT...THEN
STEADILY SUBSIDING MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY ALONG THE ATLANTIC
BEACHES OF SOUTHEAST FLORIDA. ALONG THE GULF COAST...SURF WILL
QUICKLY BUILD TONIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING AND PEAK BY MONDAY
AFTERNOON. THE COMBINATION OF SURF AND ONSHORE WINDS WILL RESULT
IN LIFE THREATENING RIP CURRENTS ALONG WITH MODERATE TO MAJOR
BEACH EROSION ALONG THE GULF AND ATLANTIC BEACHES.

.PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

REMAIN IN PORT AND WELL SECURED.

TO SHINGLES AND SIDING...LARGE BRANCHES BROKEN OFF TREES WITH
SEVERAL SHALLOW- ROOTED AND DISEASED TREES BLOWN DOWN...AND
UNSECURED LIGHT-WEIGHT OBJECTS EASILY BLOWN ABOUT BECOMING
DANGEROUS PROJECTILES. DRIVING CONDITIONS WILL BE DANGEROUS ON
BRIDGES AND OTHER ELEVATED ROADWAYS...ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH PROFILE

THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR AT LEAST SCATTERED POWER OUTAGES...
ESPECIALLY IN AREAS WITH ABOVE GROUND LINES.

GROUND LEVEL SOMEWHERE WITHIN THE SURGE ZONE.

THE LOCATIONS WITH THE GREATEST FLOODING POTENTIAL INCLUDE AREAS
ALONG THE IMMEDIATE GULF COAST SOUTH AND WEST OF TAMIAMI TRAIL IN
COLLIER COUNTY DOWN TO THE EVERGLADES CITY AREA. ON THE CURRENT
FORECAST TRACK...STORM SURGE IS LIKELY TO BE LOWER THAN THE
VALUES ABOVE. HOWEVER...ANY DEVIATION IN TRACK TO THE EAST AND OR
AN INCREASE IN STORM INTENSITY OR SIZE COULD RESULT IN AT LEAST
THIS SURGE POTENTIAL...IF NOT HIGHER. MAIN TIMING CONCERN FOR
SURGE ALONG THE GULF COAST WILL BE MONDAY...ESPECIALLY AT THE
HIGH TIDE CYCLE AROUND SUNRISE.

AGGRESSIVE PREPARATIONS SHOULD BE MADE FOR THE THREAT OF MAJOR
COASTAL FLOOD DAMAGE FROM SEA WATER. IF REALIZED...EXPECT AREAS
OF DEEP INUNDATION WITHIN THE FLOOD ZONE. SEVERE BEACH EROSION.
SEVERAL SECTIONS OF NEAR-SHORE ROADS WASHED OUT AND/OR LOW-LYING
ESCAPE ROUTES SEVERELY FLOODED. A POWERFUL AND SCOURING STORM
SURGE AND TIDE ACCENTUATED BY BATTERING WIND WAVES BREACHING
DUNES AND POSSIBLY SEAWALLS IN SCATTERED LOCATIONS RESULTING IN
STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO SHORELINE BUILDINGS...WITH A FEW WASHING
INTO THE SEA. DAMAGE COMPOUNDED BY FLOATING DEBRIS. MODERATE TO
MAJOR DAMAGE TO MARINAS...DOCKS...AND PIERS. MANY SMALL CRAFT
BROKEN AWAY FROM MOORINGS...ESPECIALLY IN UNPROTECTED
ANCHORAGES...LIFTED ONSHORE AND STRANDED.
