Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 9 Oct, 18:31 · Archive
Hurricane Isaias, a category 3 storm, is set to strike the Alabama-Florida Gulf Coast late Friday.
Category 3 Hurricane Isaias is set to strike the Alabama-Florida Gulf Coast late Friday, with its remnants reaching Pennsylvania over the weekend.
The Pittsburgh area will experience low impact from the storm's remnants, according to Jason Frazier, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Moon. Rain will begin late Saturday evening, either around or just after midnight, and continue through most of Sunday with possible breaks. Light rain may linger into Monday morning, with dry weather resuming by Monday evening.
Total rainfall is expected to be between one and one and a half inches, with higher accumulation possible. Frazier said severe weather is not anticipated, ruling out hail, tornadoes and damaging winds, with the likelihood of lightning being very low. Gusty winds are expected Saturday into Sunday. Flooding risk exists only if accumulation reaches the higher end and storm drains are clogged with debris. Residents are advised to clear storm drains before Saturday night to prevent localised flooding on roadways.
