I live in Greensburg PA right now, inside of 50-100 miles east of Pittsburgh. Basically, see that picture OC posted? I live about a sixteenth of an inch northeast of where 40 N and 80 W intersect.
From what I'm seeing, there's a nice fat high pressure system just sitting in upstate NY that's doing a good job of running interference for the northern half of the eastern seaboard - that's probably why Isabel's stalling a bit, having to push against that thing. What I'm worried about is this cold front moving across the Midwest. I don't know how fast it's moving, but if the Upstate system slows Isabel to the point where she and the cold front meet, it's possible we might see her going out with a pretty bang.
/me makes plans to e-mail his paper's rough draft to his professor and just watch the rain all day.
