Isaias moved inland; watch the rain footprint
This morning’s No. 028 documented Friday’s Florida Panhandle landfall. AP’s Saturday afternoon report follows the weakened system into northern Alabama and describes flood watches extending toward the Southeast and Appalachians. Forecasters expected three to six inches of rain in parts of Georgia and the Carolinas, with isolated amounts up to ten inches. Those numbers are forecasts for selected areas, not observed rainfall everywhere. Wind classification fell; the potential harm moved inland with water. The affected county’s warning and road conditions should govern travel decisions after this fixed paper goes to press.
AP also reports Hurricane Simon approaching Mexico. We do not infer an impact on a particular town from that broad forecast. The afternoon development is a changed location and hazard emphasis, not a second landfall. A current official bulletin could change the forecast, and later measured rainfall will settle what actually occurred. We did not obtain a complete current NHC advisory text in this check, so the forecast description is attributed to AP; the NHC link is offered for live official updates.
