Tropical Storm Isaias

 

MARC is closely monitoring Tropical Storm Isaias, currently forecasted to impact the service area beginning early Tuesday morning.  At this time, no modifications to service are planned.  As with all severe weather, this storm has the potential to cause 15-20 minute delays, due to speed restrictions caused by multiple types of warnings (flash flood, wind, etc).  We are asking our customers to please plan ahead for your travel and use extra caution in and around the stations.
