Hurricane Isaias is strengthening on a path through the Bahamas and up the east coast

none of idiots even know the potential of this storm right now. I am a professional meteorologist. The biggest concerns- beach erosion and the extreme heavy rainfall. For example the Reading/Lehigh Valley are received 3-5 inches of intense rainfall yesterday in one of the worst t-storms in years. The topsoil was severely eroded away from just the intensity of yesterdays rainfall and 20 ft deep sinkholes were reported along with flooding of entire arterial roadways with water rescues. The media has been virtually silent.

I guarantee with 5-7 inches more of rain forecasted, the media will not be silent anymore. The Schuylkill River will experience major flooding thus part of Reading, Pottstown, Philadelphia, Norristown look to be under water as with major flooding in the Lehigh Valley. Watch out Eastern PA- another Irene in the making. Mark this post as you will a bunch of pinned threads by Wed evening on this situation

See that one-two punch

float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

Mosquitos have worse bites than Isaias. The entire state of Florida saw nothing remarkable. And now the storm is taking on more dry air.

Carolina will get some rain, but not as bad as has been breathlessly predicted for days - or is it a week now?

Meanwhile, my uncle has been demoted to cousin. Told him if he wants to stay he needs to chip in on the rent and stop eating up the emergency popcorn.

Florida, Florida, Florida...read my title.



Your uncle is an idiot.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

So far, as far as your headline goes, you're 0-1 and the rest isn't looking all that great for you.

Looks like nyc will get wind and a bit of rain since it moved more west.

Next 6 hours are important-- as its expected to re-intensify before landfall this evening back into a Cat 1. At the same time because of a fast moving overhead 150kt jet and the shear shifting to from the SW, it is not expected to fall apart fast.. rather slow wind-down. It will also be accelerating in forward speed, so some areas will get stronger gusts further inland than if it slowly came onshore. This isnt disaster, but considering with COVID, its not going to take much to create significant headaches.

Mid Chesapeake Bay here and we are getting a cracking thunderstorm. Just started, First bands. Forecast has it going right over us tomorrow.

DC area here (Fairfax county, Virginia). Just had our first feeder band heavy rain about an hour ago. Thank you OP for the thread and updates. :)

Dark sky, light rain here in NC. Not from the Hurricane but a cold front that is coming up against the storm.

Causing flooding in Charlotte Area. 85 closed earlier as mini-landslide happened because of heavy run off.
