Pat's Forecast for SE GA / SE SC
King Tides & Heavy Rains Today & Saturday
Clouds continue to stream over the region and will persist through early Sunday. Hurricane ISAIAS will move to the north central Gulf of Mexico making landfall tonight somewhere around Pensacola, FL and will then rapidly track northward. The storm will draw tropical moisture across our region of SE GA / SE SC today and Saturday resulting in periods of moderate to heavy rains. Rainfall totals could accumulate anywhere from 2-4 inches here, but most likely closer to the 2" value. There will even be a slight chance for a few short-lived quick spin-up tornadoes overnight and on Saturday over Georgia and southern SC.

With the upcoming new moon and the continued steady easterly fetch of winds off the Atlantic, the high tide cycles through Saturday evening will be greatly elevated. The greatest threat for coastal flooding will be this evening through Saturday evening's high tide cycles.
