00:00Here are five cities that will be greatly impacted by Hurricane Isaias.
00:04We're going to begin along the Gulf Coast near the point of landfall,
00:07which we expect will occur between Mobile Bay and the western part of the Florida Panhandle
00:12on Friday late evening into the early part of the overnight.
00:15Mobile itself, 80 to 100 mile per hour gusts, 4 to 8 inches of rain.
00:19We expect to see a storm surge probably between 4 and 8 feet.
00:23If it comes in a little farther east, that would mitigate the worst of the storm surge on Friday night.
00:28Pensacola, nasty place to be.
00:316 to 10 feet of storm surge in this storm.
00:348 to 12 inches of rain and the greatest wind gusts, 100 to 120 miles per hour.
00:39You may end up in the eastern eyewall there in Pensacola.
00:42Panama City, not that far to the east.
00:44You're going to get in on some of the eyewall most likely.
00:464 to 8 inches of rain, 60 to 80 mile per hour gusts, and a 3 to 6 foot storm
00:50surge.
00:51As we travel farther inland beyond the storm surge,
00:54we're also going to see some very heavy rain into places like Birmingham.
00:574 to 8 inches of rain and 40 to 60 mile per hour gusts.
01:00Montgomery, Alabama will see 60 to 80 mile per hour gusts and 6 to 10 inches of rain mainly on
