PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

OUTSIDE PREPARATIONS SHOULD BE COMPLETED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
BEFORE THE ONSET OF GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY RAINS WHICH CAN CAUSE
OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES TO BECOME DANGEROUS.

&&

...PROBABILITY OF TROPICAL STORM/HURRICANE CONDITIONS...
THERE IS LITTLE CHANCE FOR HURRICANE CONDITIONS AT THIS TIME.
ALSO...THE CHANCE FOR TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS AT THIS TIME IS
UP TO 65 PERCENT. THIS REPRESENTS A GENERAL STEADY TREND SINCE
THE LAST FORECAST.

...WINDS...
THE LATEST AREA FORECAST IS FOR MAXIMUM WINDS OF 25 TO 35 MPH
WITH GUSTS TO 45 MPH. HOWEVER...AS TROPICAL STORM ISAAC
APPROACHES...STRONGER WINDS ARE STILL POSSIBLE IN RAIN BANDS.
CONTINUE TO CLOSELY MONITOR THE FORECAST FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT
CHANGES AND BE READY TO ACT.

MINOR DAMAGE MAY OCCUR TO OLDER MOBILE HOMES. RESIDENTS SHOULD
MOVE LOOSE ITEMS INDOORS...SUCH AS GARBAGE CANS AND OUTDOOR
FURNITURE...AS THEY WILL BE BLOWN AROUND. NEWLY PLANTED OR YOUNG
TREES AND SHRUBS MAY BE UPROOTED IF NOT SECURED PROPERLY.
ISOLATED POWER OUTAGES WILL BE POSSIBLE.

...STORM SURGE AND STORM TIDE...
ALTHOUGH THE CORE OF TROPICAL STORM ISAAC IS NOT CURRENTLY
PREDICTED TO MOVE ACROSS COASTAL SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA...
THERE IS STILL A CHANCE FOR COMBINED STORM SURGE AND ASTRONOMICAL
TIDE WATERS RESULTING IN A WORST CASE FLOOD INUNDATION OF 3 TO
5 FEET ABOVE GROUND LEVEL.

THE MOST LIKELY PERIOD OF IMPACT WILL BE DURING HIGH TIDES ON
MONDAY.

THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY FROM COASTAL
FLOODING...POTENTIALLY HAVING A MODERATE IMPACT. THE CONCERN IS
FOR THE CHANCE OF MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING TO OCCUR IN AREAS
WITHIN THE SURGE ZONE...RESULTING IN DAMAGING AND LIFE-
THREATENING INUNDATION. IF REALIZED...PEOPLE WITHIN THE
THREATENED AREAS WHO FAILED TO HEED OFFICIAL EVACUATION ORDERS
WILL HAVE NEEDLESSLY PLACED THEIR LIVES IN DANGER. THIS IS
ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR THOSE STAYING BEHIND IN VULNERABLE LOCATIONS
SUCH AS HOMES AND BUSINESSES NEAR THE SHORE...AND ONE STORY
DWELLINGS IN FLOOD-PRONE AREAS.

SEVERAL COASTAL COMMUNITIES WILL LIKELY BE DAMAGED...WITH THOSE
STRUCTURES NOT RAISED OR PROTECTED BY A SEAWALL BEING SUBJECT TO
SIGNIFICANT FLOODING...ESPECIALLY DURING HIGH TIDE. LARGE WAVES
AND POUNDING SURF WILL ACCENTUATE PROPERTY DAMAGE IN EXPOSED
LOCATIONS. FLOOD WATERS MAY EXTEND WELL INLAND IN SPOTS. MANY
CARS WILL LIKELY BE SUBMERGED OR WASHED AWAY.

SUBSTANTIAL BEACH EROSION WILL OCCUR. MANY ROADS WILL LIKELY BE
DAMAGED OR WASHED OUT BY THE FLOOD WATERS...LEAVING SECTIONS OF
COASTAL COMMUNITIES IN FLOOD PRONE AREAS TEMPORARILY CUT OFF.
ROADWAY TRAVEL MAY BE DANGEROUS WITH SEVERAL ROADS CLOSED.

...INLAND FLOODING...
3 TO 5 INCHES OF RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS STORM. THIS
COULD RESULT IN MINOR TO MODERATE FLOODING OF LOW-LYING AND
NORMALLY FLOOD-PRONE AREAS.

...TORNADOES...
ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE AS RAIN BANDS FROM ISAAC MOVE
THROUGH THE AREA.
