OF VIRGINIA...AS WELL AS PARTS OF NORTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA. IN
PARTICULAR...LOCATIONS ALONG A CORRIDOR FROM THE DANVILLE
VICINITY...TO THE LYNCHBURG AND LEXINGTON AREAS...WOULD BE AFFECTED
THE MOST. IN ADDITION...RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF GREATER THAN TWO INCHES
MAY OCCUR...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE ALONG THE EASTERN
SLOPES OF THE BLUE RIDGE IN VIRGINIA...FROM THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH
MIDDAY FRIDAY. SOME HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS WOULD ALSO OCCUR WEST

LOWER.

WITH LANDFALL 2 OR MORE DAYS OUT...THERE IS STILL A LOT OF
UNCERTAINTY WITH THE TRACK OF ISABEL. JUST A SLIGHT CHANGE IN THE
TRACK TO THE WEST COULD BRING STRONG WINDS AND VERY HEAVY RAIN TO
