I was just about to ask if there have been any signs of weakening, so this answers my question. But I am still concerned about the information in the Hurricane Hunter's Vortex data.

Yep, they said that the higher winds found aloft by the Hurricane Hunters were acknowledged but couldn't be confirmed by dropsonde. Hence, they said that Isaias may be "gustier" than usual for a hurricane as some of these stronger winds shuffle to the surface.

shear looks to be finally winning as modeled. thankfully this thing doesn’t look to be a cat4 beast. 3 is plenty strong to rearrange a lot.

I hope there are no incidents with those driving to Tuscaloosa for the game tomorrow for the big game. I assume ESPN College Gameday has a generator should Coleman Coliseum lose power. Meanwhile, tonight’s Jonas Brothers Concert at the Birmingham Civic Center has been postponed.

I don’t have the best setup so I might lose service lol, but here’s this
Be safe and have an awesome chase!
Still wobbling a little bit east of due north as of 6 PM EDT. Will hopefully spare Mobile and immediate environs from the strongest winds and surge, but Pensacola, Fort Walton and Destin are pretty much right in the path, and the curve of the Santa Rosa-Okaloosa-Walton County portion of the Panhandle may exacerbate storm surge.

The eastern eye wall might hit Panama City Beach at high tide, which is a little after 7 PM Central Time.

Starting to get a bit breezy northeast of birmingham
Wind has just started kicking up here in the last 10 minutes. First rain bands approaching the ATL area as well.

Yikes! Had a squall come through Tallahassee about an hour ago. I clocked 73 mph winds on the velocity doppler radar (very close to the radar site), and....most of the city is without power, myself included lol typing this from hotspot. Trying to stay informed, but yeah, obviously my posting will slow! Stay safe everyone!
