Isaias Threatens Southeast With Tornadoes Through Monday as Storm Bands Spread Hundreds of Miles Inland

Summary
Friday through Monday, Isaias is expected to spin up tornadoes and waterspouts as it comes ashore on the central Gulf Coast and tracks across the Southeast.
Warm, humid air near the ground colliding with drier mid-level air could trigger severe thunderstorms, with the highest tornado risk near and east-southeast of the storm's center.
The first danger zone runs Friday into Saturday night from the Alabama, Florida and Mississippi panhandles into central Alabama and southwestern Georgia.
By Sunday into Sunday night, the threat shifts from northeastern Alabama and central Georgia into Tennessee, the Carolinas, southern Virginia and southeastern Kentucky, with a brief mid-Atlantic risk possible Monday.
Some tornadoes may be hidden by heavy rain, while stronger storm bands could also bring straight-line wind gusts inland and waterspouts along the Gulf and southern Atlantic coasts.
