Tropical Weather Outlook. 11 August

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM EDT Tue Aug 11 2020

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

First-light visible satellite imagery shows that a better-defined 
center of circulation is forming in association with a low pressure 
system located about 900 miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde 
Islands.  In addition, the associated shower and thunderstorm 
activity has become more organized since yesterday.  Environmental 
conditions are expected to become more conducive for additional 
development, and advisories could be initiated on a tropical 
depression as early as later today if these development trends 
continue.  The disturbance is forecast to move west-northwestward 
at around 15 mph across the tropical Atlantic during the next few 
days, and conditions are expected to become less conducive for 
development by the end of the week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

Football Opponents Set

The Florida Gators found out their final two opponents for the 2020 football season on Friday.
The Florida Gators will host Arkansas and travel to College Station to take on Texas A&M.
The Arkansas game will be a homecoming for former Florida quarterback Feleipe Franks. Franks missed most of the 2019 season after suffering a leg injury before graduate transferring to Arkansas last spring. The Gators last played Arkansas in Fayetteville in 2016, a 31-10 Razorback win.
Florida will travel to College Station for the first time since 2012. That was the Aggies first SEC game as a member of the conference and the first game for Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel.
The Gators will also play their previously scheduled eight conference opponents. That includes Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Missouri, LSU, and Ole Miss. 

🐊 Preseason Football Ranking 🐊

The Florida Gators come into the 2020 college football season ranked No. 8 in the Coaches Poll. This is the highest-ranking the Gators have entered a season since 2009.
As the entire college football world eagerly waits in anticipation for the start of college football the Gators will kick off the year in the top 10. Florida is the highest-ranked team in the state with Florida State and Miami not finding their way in the top-25, while UCF comes in ranked No. 21. The Gators ended the 2019 season ranked 7th in the country.
Florida is coming off of a second-consecutive double-digit win season and has won a New Year’s Six Bowl game in each of Dan Mullen’s first two seasons.

expected to dissipate over southeastern Canada on Thursday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles (220 km)
to the northeast and east of the center primarily over and near
the St. Lawrence River.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1000 mb (29.53 inches).

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

Mid-Atlantic with most rivers expected to fall below flood stage
by later today.

SURF: Swells generated by Isaias will affect the coast of the

Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT4, WMO header WTNT44 KNHC,
and on the web at www.hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT4.shtml.

STORM SURGE: The combination of storm surge and the tide will
cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising
waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could reach the
following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if
the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide…

Sandy Hook NJ to Martha’s Vineyard MA including Long Island Sound,
Block Island Sound, Narragansett Bay, Buzzards Bay, and Vineyard
Sound…1-2 ft

WIND: Widespread tropical-storm conditions are expected in the
tropical storm warning area in eastern New York, Long Island, and
southern New England, with wind gusts to hurricane force possible.
These winds could cause significant tree damage and power outages.

Tropical storm conditions are expected to reach southern New
England by late afternoon, and reach northern New England tonight.

Gale-force winds are expected to spread into southeastern Quebec
tonight and Wednesday. See products issued by Environment
Canada for more information.

RAINFALL: The following rainfall accumulations are expected along

Eastern New York into Vermont: 2 to 4 inches, isolated maximum
totals 6 inches.

Western Connecticut, western Massachusetts, New Hampshire and
western Maine: 1 to 3 inches. Southern Quebec: 1 to 3 inches.

Heavy rainfall near the path of Isaias, through the Hudson River
Valley, is likely to result in flash flooding, particularly through
urban areas and the surrounding terrain of the Catskills, Adirondack

moderate river flooding is likely across portions of the
Mid-Atlantic. Quick-responding rivers in the Northeast will also be
susceptible to minor and possible moderate river flooding.

TORNADOES: A couple of tornadoes are possible across southern New
England late this afternoon. A risk for tornadoes may continue and
spread across parts of northern New England through this evening.

SURF: Swells generated by Isaias will spread northward along the
mid-Atlantic and Northeast coasts of the United States today. These
