Rainfall of 4 to 8 inches, with local totals up to 15 inches, is expected across southern Alabama, the Florida Panhandle, and southwest Georgia, leading to flash flooding and significant river flooding. Storm surge could reach 5 to 7 feet above ground in some areas, with damaging hurricane-force winds expected along the coast. Inland areas of Alabama and Georgia may also experience damaging gusts and isolated tornadoes. Swells generated by Isaias are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip currents along the Gulf Coast.
