Isaias

Isaias will continue to move
up the Southeast Coast
today before making
landfall as a tropical storm
in northeastern South
Carolina tonight. This
tropical system is expected
to bring drenching
downpours to the eastern
Carolinas with 4 to 8
inches of rainfall expected.
Tropical storm-force wind
gusts (at least 39 miles per
hour) are also likely as
Isaias shifts inland.

FRIDAY .................Showers/thunderstorms

A blend of sunshine and some clouds,

with seasonable conditions, Thursday.

High 84. Friday will turn out rather cloudy,

but remain dry. High 83.

Tropical Storm Isaias will push north

and eventually make landfall in the east-

ern part of the Carolinas today. Heavy

rain, gusty winds and rising seas will

accompany the approach of Isaias with

the likelihood of flooding and damaging

winds. The storm will track just inland

over the Northeast on Tuesday.

Showers and thunderstorms will riddle

the balance of the eastern third of the

nation amid very warm and humid air.

Much of the Plains will be free of rain,

with sunshine and lower humidity.

But, a few storms are likely to affect

areas from western Nebraska to part of

northwestern Texas. Most of the region

from the Rockies to the Pacific Coast will

be dry with sunny skies. More heat is in

store for the interior Southwest.

Wind and rain from Tropical Storm Isaias

is expected for the shores from the Car-

olinas to southern Maryland today as it

moves up the coast. Afternoon showers

or thunderstorms will reach the southern

Jersey Shore; otherwise, beaches in the

Northeast will be dry. Highs will be in the

mid- to upper 80s for most.
