From Miami NWS

From Miami NWS office this afternoon-
ALL EYES THEN TURN TO ISAAC FOR THE WEEKEND. MODELS ARE
INDICATING THAT LOW PRESSURE MAY DEVELOP ALONG THE OLD FRONTAL
BOUNDARY AND MOVE TO THE NORTHEAST FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY...LEAVING
A WEAKNESS IN THE SOUTHEAST AND ACROSS FLORIDA. THIS MAY HAVE AN
IMPACT ON THE TRACK OF TROPICAL STORM ISAAC. HOWEVER...THE
OVERALL CONSENSUS OF THE MODEL GUIDANCE HAS MOVED SLIGHTLY
WESTWARD FOR THE TRACK OF ISAAC...BUT STILL BRINGS THE CENTER VERY
CLOSE TO THE SOUTHWEST COAST OF FLORIDA AND OVER THE GULF COASTAL
WATERS. THERE IS STILL A LOT OF MODEL SPREAD AT THIS TIME...WITH
MODELS GOING INTO SOUTHEAST FLORIDA OR INTO THE GULF THROUGH THE
KEYS. THE ENTIRE REGION REMAINS IN THE CONE OF UNCERTAINTY AND ALL
OF SOUTH FLORIDA SHOULD REMAIN ALERT AND PREPARE AS TROPICAL STORM
ISAAC NEARS THIS WEEKEND. IT IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY LIKELY THAT
AT THE VERY LEAST THAT SOUTH FLORIDA WILL RECEIVE HEAVY RAINFALL.
HPC IS INDICATING RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 4-8 INCHES AND LOCALLY
HIGHER AMOUNTS COULD BE POSSIBLE. SO FLOODING WILL BECOME A BIG
CONCERN THE LATTER HALF OF THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...AND
FLOOD WATCHES WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR MUCH IF NOT ALL OF SOUTH
FLORIDA. OTHERWISE...IT IS STILL TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE OTHER
SPECIFIC IMPACTS TO SOUTH FLORIDA...BUT TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS
COULD BEGIN AS EARLY AS SUNDAY ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA.
