RAINFALL: Rainfall accumulations of 1 to 3 inches are expected along and near the track of Isaias across southern Quebec.

Even though the rainfall has ended, scattered minor to moderate and isolated major river flooding is ongoing across portions of the MidAtlantic with most rivers expected to fall below flood stage by later today.

SURF: Swells generated by Isaias will affect the coast of the Northeast United States through this morning. These swells are likely to cause lifethreatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
