.STORM INFORMATION...
AT 11 AM EDT...THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM ISAAC WAS LOCATED
NEAR LATITUDE 26.1N...LONGITUDE 85.3W. THIS WAS ABOUT 320 MILES
WEST OF MIAMI FL...OR ABOUT 220 MILES WEST OF NAPLES FL. STORM
MOTION WAS NW OR 305 DEGREES AT 14 MPH. STORM INTENSITY WAS
65 MPH.

.SITUATION OVERVIEW...
TROPICAL STORM ISAAC CONTINUES TO MOVE AWAY FROM SOUTH FLORIDA.
AS A RESULT...WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO SUBSIDE ACROSS THE AREA
TODAY. ALL TROPICAL STORM WARNINGS FOR SOUTH FLORIDA HAVE BEEN
DISCONTINUED AND REPLACED WITH A WIND ADVISORY ACROSS THE MAINLAND
AND A GALE WARNING ACROSS THE ATLANTIC AND GULF WATERS FOR THE
EXPECTATION OF FREQUENT WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 35 MPH.

THERE IS ALSO THE CONCERN FOR FLASH FLOODING, PARTICULARLY ACROSS
THE WEST PALM BEACH METROPOLITAN AREA WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAINS
(GENERALLY 5 TO 10 INCHES WITH LOCAL AMOUNTS AS HIGH AS 10 TO 15
INCHES) OCCURRED SINCE YESTERDAY. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF
2 TO 4 INCHES ARE LIKELY, WITH POTENTIALLY MUCH HIGHER AMOUNTS WHERE
ANY RAINBANDS TRAIN OVER AN AREA. A FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT
FOR SOUTH FLORIDA THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING. OVERALL THE GREATEST
FLOODING THREAT IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS REMAINS ALONG THE SOUTHEAST

ANOTHER CONCERN WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED TORNADOES.

THERE STILL REMAINS A POTENTIAL FOR MINOR COASTAL FLOODING ALONG
THE GULF COAST...ESPECIALLY FROM MARCO ISLAND TO EVERGLADES CITY
ALONG THE COLLIER COUNTY COAST. THIS MINOR THREAT HAS THE BEST
CHANCE TO BE REALIZED FROM THIS AFTERNOON WHEN THE WIND TURNS MORE
ONSHORE TO LATE TONIGHT WHEN THE AREA REACHES THE NEXT HIGH TIDE
CYCLE AROUND MIDNIGHT.

THE COMBINATION OF SURF AND GUSTY WINDS WILL RESULT IN LIFE
THREATENING RIP CURRENTS ALONG WITH MODERATE BEACH EROSION MAINLY

COUNTY LATER TODAY WHEN THE WINDS TURN MORE ONSHORE. THE RISK
WILL DIMINISH BY TOMORROW.
