FOR MARINE INTERESTS...A TROPICAL STORM WARNING CONTINUES FOR
ALL OF THE ATLANTIC WATERS AND LAKE OKEECHOBEE.

.STORM INFORMATION...
AT 11 AM EDT...THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM ISAAC WAS LOCATED
NEAR LATITUDE 20.1N...LONGITUDE 74.6W. THIS WAS ABOUT 530 MILES
SOUTHEAST OF MIAMI FL...OR ABOUT 620 MILES SOUTHEAST OF NAPLES
FL. STORM MOTION WAS NW OR 315 DEGREES AT 17 MPH. STORM INTENSITY
WAS 60 MPH.

.SITUATION OVERVIEW...
IT IS VITAL THAT YOU DO NOT FOCUS ON THE EXACT FORECAST TRACK. TO
DO SO COULD RESULT IN BAD DECISIONS AND PLACE YOU OR THOSE YOU ARE
RESPONSIBLE FOR AT GREATER RISK. IT IS TOO EARLY TO PROVIDE OVERLY
SPECIFIC WIND AND SURGE FORECAST VALUES.

A GENERAL CONCERN SHOULD BE MAINLY FOR THE LIKELIHOOD OF TROPICAL
STORM FORCE WINDS ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR
HURRICANE CONDITIONS ALONG THE GULF COAST AND MIAMI AT THIS TIME.
SHOULD THAT POTENTIAL BE REALIZED IT WOULD MATERIALIZE WITHIN
24 TO 36 HOURS AND THEREFORE A HURRICANE WARNING HAS BEEN POSTED
FOR THOSE AREAS.

THERE IS ALSO THE CONCERN FOR SIGNIFICANT FLOODING ACROSS
PORTIONS OF SOUTH FLORIDA SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY AS THE SYSTEM
APPROACHES AND MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF
5 TO 10 INCHES ARE CURRENTLY FORECAST THROUGH MONDAY. THERE IS
THE POTENTIAL FOR MUCH HIGHER AMOUNTS IF RAIN BANDS TRAIN
REPEATEDLY OVER THE SAME AREA AS ISAAC MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. A
FLOOD WATCH WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR ALL OF SOUTH FLORIDA BY
SUNDAY.

ISOLATED TO SCATTERED TORNADOES WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE ACROSS ALL
OF SOUTH FLORIDA, REGARDLESS OF STORM INTENSITY. WHILE A TORNADO
IS POSSIBLE AT ANY TIME, THE GREATEST RISK WILL BE SUNDAY THROUGH
MONDAY.

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

VERY ROUGH SURF WILL IMPACT PORTIONS OF SOUTH FLORIDA SUNDAY AND
MONDAY WITH VERY HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS AND SEVERE BEACH
EROSION.

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

FOR THOSE UNDER A WARNING...NOW IS THE TIME TO RUSH TO COMPLETION
PREPARATIONS FOR THE PROTECTION OF LIFE AND PROPERTY. EVACUATE IF
DIRECTED TO DO SO BY LOCAL OFFICIALS... OR IF YOUR HOME IS
VULNERABLE TO HIGH WINDS OR FLOODING.

ALL COASTAL AND MARINE INTERESTS IN WARNING AREAS SHOULD
COMPLETE PREPARATIONS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. IF YOU LIVE ON A
BOAT...MAKE FINAL PREPARATIONS NOW AND SECURE YOUR VESSEL
BEFORE LEAVING. BE SURE TO ACCOUNT FOR THE POSSIBLE CLOSURE
OF BRIDGES AND CAUSEWAYS.

REGARDING ANY COASTAL WATERS UNDER A WARNING...SMALL CRAFT
SHOULD REMAIN IN PORT AND WELL SECURED.

CLOSELY MONITOR NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR OTHER LOCAL NEWS
OUTLETS FOR OFFICIAL STORM INFORMATION. LISTEN FOR POSSIBLE
CHANGES TO THE FORECAST.

FOR ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONARY AND PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION...
PLEASE REFER TO THE DETAILED RECOMMENDATIONS RELATIVE TO
YOUR LOCATION AS FURTHER DESCRIBED BY YOUR LOCAL NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE OFFICE AND COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. YOU
