                             HURRICANE ISAIAS
                              ADVISORY #15A
As of 8:00 pm Friday:

HURRICANE ISAIAS remains a CAT 1
storm and was located approximately
175 nm (200 mi) south-southeast of
Nassau and is moving northwest (310
deg) at 13 kts (15 mph) with max
sustained winds of 70G85 kts (80G95
mph).

Over the past 24 hrs, global forecast
models have tended to shift ISAIAS’ track
slightly back toward the west in response
to the persistence of the mid-Atlantic
high pressure ridge extending over FL
into the Gulf of Mexico. As the frontal
system currently over the upper mid-west
pushes southeast, the ridge will weaken
and allow ISAIAS to begin its turn to the
north-northeast. ISAIAS is forecast to track along the southeast-central coast of FL thru
Sunday evening before it begins to accelerate and make a turn to the north-northeast.
Slight intensification is expected over the next 24 hrs as ISAIAS continues to further organize
vertically and moves over slightly warmer sea surface temperatures. On the forecast track,
the center of ISAIAS will move near or over the Central Bahamas tonight, near or over the
Northwestern Bahamas Saturday and near the east coast of the Florida peninsula Saturday
afternoon through Sunday.

Based on the current forecast advisory, ISAIAS will pass within 70 nm (81 mi) to the east of
NAS Jacksonville early Monday morning with max winds of 60G75 kts (70G85 mph) as it
begins turning to the northeast. ISAIAS is currently forecast to make landfall near the SC-NC
border.

A Hurricane Warning and Storm Surge Watch have been issued for portions of the Florida
east coast. See below for tropical storm warnings or watches in effect for Florida coastal
regions.

Green Cove Springs Weather - Hi/Lo temps will remain in the low 90’s / mid 70’s with
isolated afternoon thunderstorms thru SAT. Based on ISAIAS current wind distribution and
closest point of approach, anticipate winds over the area will gradually increase to ENE at
15-20 kts with occasional gusts to 35 kts SUN afternoon thru Monday afternoon. Sustained
winds will be 5-10 kts higher at or near the coast. Expect higher gusts of in and around
thunderstorms. Scattered thunderstorms and moderate to occasionally heavy rains
associated with ISAIAS will move thru the area late SUN thru MON with total rainfall SAT thru
THU of 1.5” - 3”. Localized fl ooding is possible throughout the area with potential storm
surge of 1-2 ft east of I-295. Storm surge of 3-6+ ft is possible from St Augustine to points
south along the coast.

Based on NHC models, the probability of topical storm force winds over the local area
is 10%, increasing to 20% along the coast from SUN afternoon thru MON afternoon.
