Discussion
After re-gaining hurricane status last night (category 1), "Isaias" made landfall in Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina and is now accelerating to the northeast. Torrential rainfall will continue into the afternoon hours in the region with powerful wind gusts as well as "Isaias" moves through at a rapid pace (now 33 mph to the NNE). Localized flash flooding will continue for the next several hours and there will be isolated tornadoes and some power outages as well. The tropical system moves into interior New England by later tonight and big-time improvement comes our way on Wednesday.
