SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------
Hurricane Isaias made landfall around 8:30 PM CDT this evening near
Destin, FL and quickly became post-tropical. Its remnants will move
inland through Saturday, bringing gusty winds and heavy rainfall across
portions of the Mid-South. A wind advisory will replace the Tropical
Storm Warning and a flooding threat continues.
POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* WIND:
Protect against hazardous wind having possible limited impacts across
northeast Mississippi. Potential impacts in this area include:
- Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored
mobile homes. Unsecured lightweight objects blown about.
- Many large tree limbs broken off. A few trees snapped or
uprooted, but with greater numbers in places where trees are
shallow rooted. Some fences and roadway signs blown over.
- A few roads impassable from debris, particularly within urban
or heavily wooded places. Hazardous driving conditions on
bridges and other elevated roadways.
- Scattered power and communications outages.
Elsewhere across Mid-South, little to no impact is anticipated.
* FLOODING RAIN:
Protect against dangerous rainfall flooding having possible significant
impacts across northeast Mississippi. Potential impacts include:
- Moderate rainfall flooding may prompt several evacuations and
rescues.
- Rivers and tributaries may quickly become swollen with swifter
currents and overspill their banks in a few places, especially
in usually vulnerable spots. Small streams, creeks, canals,
arroyos, and ditches overflow.
- Flood waters can enter some structures or weaken foundations.
Several places may experience expanded areas of rapid
inundation at underpasses, low-lying spots, and poor drainage
areas. Some streets and parking lots take on moving water as
storm drains and retention ponds overflow. Driving conditions
become hazardous. Some road and bridge closures.
Protect against locally hazardous rainfall flooding having possible
limited impacts across northeast Mississippi.
