actually the rain threat will be fairly minimized also..due to the projected speed of the storm at landfall....only a few hours at any one location....this is starting to look like a non-event....especially if trends continue and the weakening continues..which based on satellite pics is definitely happening....actually right now there is very little in the way of heavy rain occuring with Isabel...based on cloudtop temps.

Nonevent? Apparently you do not live in the huricane watch area. Even if it comes across as a Cat 1, that is still winds in excess of 75 mph, plus a ton of rain on top of saturated ground.

Wouldn't call it a nonevent.

A few hours of heavy rain here in Central Maryland WILL cause flooding like we saw in Chester, PA yesterday. It is not a non-event.
