DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 AM EDT (0600 UTC), the center of Post-Tropical Cyclone Isaias
was located near latitude 46.1 North, longitude 72.2 West. The
post-tropical cyclone is moving toward the north-northeast near 35
mph (56 km/h), and this general motion is expected with a decrease
in forward speed through tonight.
 
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 40 mph (65 km/h)
with higher gusts.  Continued weakening is expected, and the winds
are expected to drop below tropical-storm force during the next few
hours.  The post-tropical cyclone is expected to dissipate over
southeastern Canada tonight or on Thursday.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles (165 km)
to the northeast and east of the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1000 mb (29.53 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Isaias can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT4, WMO header WTNT44 KNHC,
and on the web at www.hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT4.shtml.
 
WIND:  Gale-force winds are possible over portions of southeastern
Quebec for a few more hours.  See products issued by Environment
Canada for more information.
 
RAINFALL: Rainfall accumulations of 1 to 3 inches are expected along
and near the track of Isaias across Southern Quebec.  Additional
rainfall of up to an inch is possible across western and northern
Maine overnight.
 
As the rainfall exits the United States, scattered minor to moderate
and isolated major river flooding is ongoing or forecast across
portions of the Mid-Atlantic with most rivers falling below flood
stage today.  Quick-responding rivers in the Northeast will also
be susceptible to minor and possible moderate river flooding.

SURF:  Swells generated by Isaias will affect the mid-Atlantic and
Northeast coasts of the United States through this morning. These 
swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions.  Please consult products from your local weather office.
