According to the NHC advisory number 16

The post-tropical cyclone is moving toward the north-northwest near 10 mph (17 km/h) and this motion is expected to continue today, with a turn to the northeast tonight into Sunday. Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts, especially in areas of elevated terrain. Wind gusts may increase during the day today, with weakening speeds expected tonight into Sunday. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1006 mb (29.71 inches).

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

WIND: Strong wind gusts continue to pose a threat across the southeastern United States today, including Georgia, the southern Appalachians, and extending west through much of central and northern Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Scattered power outages and downed trees and powerlines may occur, with the risk highest in elevated terrain.

RAINFALL: Rainfall totals of 3 to 6 inches with localized maximum amounts of 10 inches are possible across the Southern Appalachians from northeast Georgia into the western Carolinas and from the upper coast of South Carolina into eastern North Carolina. Additional rainfall totals of 1 to 2 inches possible across the remainder of the Southeast into northern Florida.

Flash, urban, and river flooding is possible across the region, with considerable impacts, including landslides, possible across the southern Appalachians. Significant river flooding across the western Florida Panhandle will crest today through Sunday.

TORNADOES: A couple of tornadoes are possible today across eastern Georgia and the Carolinas.

SURF: Swells from Isaias will continue to affect much of the Gulf coasts of the United States, Mexico, and western Cuba this weekend. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
