Getting some heavy rainfall here already this morning.

Also I don't see any convection along the coast that will rob us of moisture...

Mostly steady rain with breezes so far here at the house and 53°. I can hear stronger wind gusts higher up above the house and Popular trees are dumping leaves like crazy. This could mark an early end to leaf peeping season for a lot of areas.

6z came back down to Earth and I think these totals are much more believable. Given the setup it's definitely an escarpment problem, gonna be big swings in totals across fairly small areas I bet.

Highest
values have come down by about an inch, but that isn't enough
to substantially change the fcst over the mtns. What is more
interesting is the suggestion of a band of northward-training
showers and storms will translate slowly east across the fcst area
late this afternoon and this evening as Isaias makes the gradual
transition to extratropical.
