Below is a general timing of when impacts from Isaac could arrive.
Note: the exact track of Isaac will ultimately determine the severity of impacts in these areas. Key uncertainties in those track details remain at this time!
- South Florida/Keys: Winds are expected to pick up Saturday evening, ramping up in the overnight hours, continuing into Sunday. Rain and wind will continue Sunday into at least early Monday. Heavy rain, local flash flooding, coastal flooding, and isolated tornadoes are the threats. Improving conditions Tuesday.
- Central Florida (Tampa): Winds/rain expected to pick up Sunday afternoon and evening. Worst weather (heavy rain, strong winds) Sunday night into Monday, with lingering rainbands Tuesday.
- Northern Gulf Coast: Offshore winds pick up Sunday night, increasing Monday. Potential landfall sometime Tuesday with peak impacts. Surge/coastal flooding on Isaac's eastern flank. Heavy rain threat at coast and inland as well.
Parts of South Florida and the Keys may take a hard hit from heavy rain, winds, some coastal flooding and isolated tornadoes Sunday into Monday.
My yard is a mess and I'm going to spend all of Saturday cleaning it up. I've got plenty of projectiles that Isaac can pick up and throw around.
