I LOVE vertically stacked systems. Especially the coastal snowstorms we get here like this one. Its a sign of power

I knew FL would get jack since the shear has blown all the heavy rain well to the east of the center. It's done.

It’s one of those oddities of weather (to me anyways) that there are distinct layers, but that’s what it is. In this case 2 independent spins with Isaias. Always liked that radar software you use.

Sun 2Aug 8aEDT/AST:
Winds 65mph(100km/h) (mainly E side, some to the North, rain bands will bring gusty winds)
Moving NW 8mph(13km/h)
Pressure 996mb

Missed overnight opportunity to strengthen even with the wind shear adversely affecting system. Poor structure didn't help. Center wobbled around and moved moved more North during the night.

This morning Satellite presentation looks better, not great, but much better though with clouds spreading out more evenly across the system as we get another convective burst occurring this morning, this time more closer to the center. Radar hasn't filled in much but more rain seems to be coming into radar range on the E side of storm. We shall watch and see how long this burst continues today and see if brings in more rain/wind into the coast later on.

Watch/Warnings:
-Hurricane Warnings canceled.
-Tropical Storm Warnings Lake Okeechobee & Hallandale Beach, FL (Hollywood) North to South Santee River, SC (North of Charleston, South of Georgetown).
-Tropical Storm Watch S Santee River SC North to Surf City, NC (Just N of Wilmington).
-Storm Surge Watch Jupiter Inlet to Ponte Vedra Beach, FL & Edisto Beach, SC to Cape Fear, NC.

My weather alert started going off this morning around 5:30am or so with watches and warnings.
Beautiful morning though...sunny, about 80 with 90% humidity and a nice breeze - 10 mph

Ocean was a bit rougher than yesterday with lots of spray. Couldn't keep my glasses clear for even 5 minutes.

Chance of thunderstorms starts about 5am tomorrow morning (65%) so don't know if I'll get to the beach again before the storm.

Chatting with a few other locals - we're anticipating some good shelling after the storm passes.

Ocean at around 7:00am today in North Myrtle Beach:

-Settlement Point (NW of Freeport) 46mph, gust 61mph

Good description of it. Waves don't look high but definitely choppy. I miss living next to the beach! (I live in Upstate SC now).

Radar this AM helps show a lopsided storm with just a few small rain bands Occasionally pivoting into FL thus far, heavier small band near Daytona Beach (out of view on link radar screen):

Radar and Satellite loop past 4hrs with surface winds

I'm only seeing 40-50mph gusts and localized downpours at the coast down in Florida. "Deadly"


I don't think it will qualify as a landfall in Florida. The center is just off shore and didn't cross over land.

Rain coming from the East at Daytona beach while its from the west in Ft Lauderdale.
