8:00 AM 10/10 - Friday evening, Hurricane Isaias made landfall as a Category Two system in far western Florida with one-minute sustained windspeeds of 105 MPH. Since then, the organization of the system has dissipated, resulting in its reclassification to a post-tropical cyclone. However, these remnants are still producing one-minute sustained windspeeds as high as 65 MPH, which would still be considered near-hurricane strength.

Throughout the course of the day on Saturday, the remnants of Isaias are expected to continue northward, approaching our area. In general, scattered rain showers Saturday night are expected to give way to steady, and occasionally heavy, rainfall for much of the say Sunday. Resulting rainfall totals are forecasted to run between 1" and 3". Although widespread flash flooding, similar to what is ongoing elsewhere as a result of this system, is not expected, the Weather Prediction Center of the National Weather Service still has the entire forecast area posted under a 5% to 15% chance of experiencing rainfall totals that exceed those necessary to result in flash flooding within 25 miles of a given location.

Luckily, windspeeds associated with Isaias are expected to significantly decrease by the time the system arrives in our neighborhood. In general, winds are expected to blow into the area from the east between 10 and 20 MPH. In addition, these windspeeds may be accompanied by wind gusts as high as 30 MPH. However, this persistent flow is expected to push water from the Chesapeake Bay onto the coasts on its western side. In advance, the National Weather Service has issued a COASTAL FLOOD WATCH for Anne Arundel County from 3:00 PM EDT Sunday afternoon until 11:00 PM EDT Sunday night. Tidal water levels could reach as high as two feet above normal heights.

Quite honestly, although the atmospheric mechanisms at play are completely different, the weather conditions will likely seem fairly similar to a weak, early autumn nor'easter.

2:48 PM 9/4 - The Storm Prediction Center of the National Weather Service has issued a SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH across portions of the forecast area to the west of and directly surrounding the District of Columbia. This alert is scheduled to remain in effect until 9:00 PM EDT. The primary threat with these storms will be their capability to produce potentially damaging winds as high as 70 MPH. Such a cell is listed to have a 15% to 30% chance of passing within 25 miles of given location for any locations that are south of the District of Columbia or directly along the Potomac River.

For the most part, activity is expected to be limited to locations south of the Potomac River in Virginia. However, an isolated cell may be able to make its way through portions of western and central Maryland.
