Tropical Storm Isaias Forecast to Hit US Gulf Coast
Digest more
A supersized El Niño’s decapitating winds and the Gulf of Mexico’s hot storm-fueling waters are battling for the core and future of land-approaching Hurricane Isaias and the storm’s tilt and eye show
Several models show Isaias becoming a major hurricane early Friday before it runs into wind shear before making landfall later tonight. Landfall is still expected to be tonight or early Saturday. Finish preparations quickly since conditions will deteriorate today.
The hot weather has led to heat advisories through the work week with a potential cool down over the weekend bringing mountain storms and breezy conditions.
Preparations are underway in communities in the Florida Panhandle and Big Bend region for potential impacts by a strengthening Hurricane Isaias.
