...REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM ISIDORE CONTINUES TOWARD THE AREA...

PERIODS OF RAIN WILL CONTINUE AS THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM 
ISIDORE...LOCATED OVER MISSISSIPPI LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON...MOVES 
NORTHEAST INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY OVERNIGHT AND THEN THE OHIO 
VALLEY FRIDAY MORNING AND AFTERNOON. RAIN COULD BE HEAVY AT TIMES 
DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. RAIN IS THEN EXPECTED TO CONTINUE DURING 
THE DAY ON FRIDAY WITH INCREASING WINDS. A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE 
REGION FROM WEST TO EAST AS THE LOW MOVES NORTH THROUGH WESTERN 
PENNSYLVANIA LATE FRIDAY NIGHT AND EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. 
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AHEAD OF AND ALONG THIS FRONT 
FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. SOME OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS 
COULD BE SEVERE WITH STRONG DAMAGING WINDS. CLEARING SKIES ARE 
EXPECTED ON SATURDAY AS THE LOW PULLS AWAY FROM THE REGION. 

AROUND ONE INCH OF RAIN IS EXPECTED FROM THIS SYSTEM ACROSS MOST OF 
THE REGION BUT A FEW AREAS COULD SEE TWO TO THREE INCHES BEFORE THE 
RAIN ENDS LATE FRIDAY NIGHT. WHILE RAIN FROM THIS EVENT WILL 
CERTAINLY HELP THE DRY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION...RAINFALL 
AMOUNTS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE HIGH ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY BREAK THE 
DROUGHT. WHILE FLOODING COULD DEVELOP ON SMALLER STREAMS IN THE 
VICINITY OF HEAVY RAIN...WIDESPREAD FLOODING LIKE WHAT OCCURRED FROM 
THE REMNANTS OF HURRICANE FLOYD BACK IN 1999 IS NOT EXPECTED.

BESIDES RAIN AND POSSIBLE MINOR FLOODING...AN INCREASE IN WINDS CAN 
BE EXPECTED FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. SOUTH THEN SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL 
BE ON THE INCREASE AND COULD APPROACH 40 MPH AT TIMES. SEVERE WINDS 
IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH COULD OCCUR AS THE COLD FRONT CROSSES THE REGION 
FRIDAY NIGHT. ROUGH SURF AND RIP CURRENTS WILL CONTINUE ALONG THE 
COAST AS A RESULT OF THESE INCREASING WINDS.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO AND OTHER LOCAL MEDIA FOR FURTHER 
UPDATES FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE.
