FLOODING OF LOW LYING AREAS AND QUICK RISES IN SMALL CREEKS AND
STREAMS. RAINFALL TOTALS WILL DECREASE TO THE WEST WITH MOST AREAS
IN EASTERN OKLAHOMA RECEIVING LESS THAN AN
INCH.
GUSTY WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED AS ISAAC LIFTS NORTH…WITH A FEW GUSTS
AROUND 30 TO 35 MPH POSSIBLE.
WHILE THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IS RATHER LIMITED TODAY…AREAS THAT
REMAIN EAST OF THE TRACK OF THE LOW WILL BE IN A FAVORABLE AREA FOR
ISOLATED BRIEF TORNADOES THIS MORNING AND INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON.
SHOULD THE TRACK BE FARTHER EAST THAN EXPECTED…THE THREAT FOR
HEAVY RAIN AND ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL BE LESS AND FARTHER REMOVED
FROM WESTERN ARKANSAS.

THE LATEST FORECASTS…STATEMENTS AND OUTLOOKS FROM THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE FOR UPDATED INFORMATION.
