Only slight to small chc PoPs for Sat night into Mon morning, as high pressure tries to build in from the NW or N. Increasing chances again Mon aftn into Mon evening, esply inland/Piedmont locations.

Tropical Storm Warnings and Tornado Watches remain up for the morning hours. Dangerous waves/seas (could see seas of 12-15 ft w/ waves of 6-9 ft on the bay) are expected through the duration of tropical storm conditions. Strong wind shear will result in the potential of waterspouts As Isaias moves away from the local waters. SW winds will become less gusty during this afternoon.

Please see the latest advisories from the National Hurricane Center concerning the track of Hurricane Isaias.

TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING. As of 530 PM EDT Monday .

Tidal flooding is expected across parts of the area on Tuesday as TS Isaias tracks NNE through the area. Strong S to SE winds for a 6-8 hour period will result in rapidly rising water levels across the mid/upper Ches Bay (especially the bayside of the Lower MD Ern Shore) and also in areas on the north side of the Albemarle/Currituck Sounds. In coordination with neighboring offices, Coastal Flood Watches have been upgraded to warnings on the east side of the Ches Bay (from Dorchester County S to Northampton VA). A Storm Surge Warning is now in effect for areas on the north side of the Albemarle Sound, where moderate to potentially major tidal flooding is expected on Tue. Watches have been converted to advisories across the VA Northern Neck where minor tidal flooding is expected on Tuesday.

Moderate coastal flooding is expected on the bayside of the Lower Eastern Shore (highest confidence from Cambridge to Crisfield, with lesser confidence on the bayside of Accomack/Northampton Counties). It is possible (but not the most likely scenario) that sites on the bayside of the Lower MD Eastern Shore (mainly Cambridge/Bishop's Head) could crest around major flood thresholds during Tuesday's high tide. This could happen if there is a short period of very strong westerly winds on the tail end of the storm that act to push water toward the bay side of the Lower MD Ern Shore. The latest guidance still shows potential for water to be trapped in the northern Ches Bay, but has backed off on water levels somewhat. The forecast will show minor flooding on the bayside of the Lower Ern Shore early Wed AM. Will run the warning for the Ern Shore through 06z Wed for now, but may cancel early if things continue to trend downward.

CLIMATE. As of 800 PM EDT Monday .

RIC official had a high temperature of 90F Mon which made it 25 consecutive days of 90+F temperatures (the 2nd longest streak in the period of record). The longest streak on record is 27 days in 1995.
