risk please see the new National Weather Service prototype storm surge watch/warning graphic. This is a life-threatening situation. Persons located within these areas should take all necessary actions to protect life and property from rising water and the potential for other dangerous conditions. Promptly follow evacuation and other instructions from the local officials. The water could reach the following depths above ground if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide: * Southeastern Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama...6 to 12 ft * South-central Louisiana...3 to 6 ft * Florida panhandle...3 to 6 ft * Florida west coast including Apalachee Bay...1 to 3 ft * Southeast Florida coast and Florida Keys...1 to 2 ft The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast in areas of onshore flow. Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances. For information specific to your area, please see products issued by your local weather service office. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and dangerous waves. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are occurring over the Florida Keys, and should spread northward along the Florida west coast in the Tropical Storm Warning area today. Tropical storm conditions are expected to reach the northern Gulf Coast in the Hurricane Warning area later today, with hurricane conditions expected on Tuesday. RAINFALL: Isaac is expected to produce additional rain accumulations of 1 to 3 inches over central and southern Florida, where isolated maximum storm total amounts of 15 inches are possible. Total rainfall amounts of 6 to 12 inches, with maximum amounts of 18 inches, are possible in southeastern Louisiana, southern Alabama, Mississippi, and the western Florida Panhandle. TORNADOES: Isolated tornadoes are possible from Central Florida through the northeastern Gulf Coast today and tonight. The tornado threat will diminish over South Florida and the Florida Keys this morning. SURF: Dangerous surf and rip current conditions will continue to affect the Northwestern Bahamas, the Florida Peninsula, and the Florida Keys during the next day or so, and begin to affect portions of the northern Gulf Coast today. Please consult products from your local weather office for more information. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next intermediate Advisory at 800 AM EDT.
