.STORM INFORMATION...
AT 11 AM EDT...THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM ISAAC WAS LOCATED
NEAR LATITUDE 23.9N...LONGITUDE 80.8W. THIS WAS ABOUT 130 MILES
SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF MIAMI FL...OR ABOUT 170 MILES SOUTH-SOUTHEAST
OF NAPLES FL. STORM MOTION WAS WNW OR 300 DEGREES AT 18 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 MOSTLY IN RAIN BANDS ARE BEGINNING TO
IMPACT SOUTH FLORIDA 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 MORNING GULF COAST, WITH CONDITIONS
IMPROVING FROM EAST TO WEST ACCORDINGLY.

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 RAIN BANDS 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 RAIN BANDS 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 STILL REMAINS A 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...

WIND DAMAGE. THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGE TO UNANCHORED MOBILE
HOMES...PORCHES...CARPORTS...AND AWNINGS ALONG WITH SOME DAMAGE TO
SHINGLES AND SIDING...LARGE BRANCHES BROKEN OFF TREES WITH SEVERAL
SHALLOW- ROOTED AND DISEASED TREES BLOWN DOWN...AND UNSECURED

PROJECTILES. DRIVING CONDITIONS WILL BE DANGEROUS ON BRIDGES AND
OTHER ELEVATED ROADWAYS...ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES. A
FEW ROADS WILL BE IMPASSABLE DUE TO LARGE DEBRIS. THERE IS
POTENTIAL FOR AT LEAST SCATTERED POWER OUTAGES... ESPECIALLY IN

FOR COMBINED STORM SURGE AND ASTRONOMICAL TIDE WATERS UP TO
7 FEET ABOVE MEAN SEA LEVEL WITHIN AREAS CLOSER TO THE COAST...
RESULTING IN WORST CASE FLOOD INUNDATION OF 4 TO 6 FEET ABOVE
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.

THIS REPRESENTS A 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.
