ALT 2:00PM Situation Update: Conditions will worsen across coastal areas, especially across the western Florida Panhandle now through tonight. Storm surge, flash flood risk, tornado risk and dangerous high winds will increase tonight.
ALT National Hurricane Center map showing the earliest reasonable arrival times of tropical-storm-force winds from Tropical Storm Isaias, as of October 7, 2026. Tropical-storm-force winds could reach the southern Gulf of Mexico Wednesday evening, spread northeast across the central Gulf Thursday, and reach portions of the northern Gulf Coast from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle as early as Friday morning. Areas farther inland across Mississippi and Alabama could experience these winds by Friday evening. Colors indicate the probability of sustained winds of at least 39 mph, with the highest probabilities concentrated along the storm's projected path.
ALT Tropical Storm Isaias continues to strengthen as it moves east northeast today. Isaias will make a turn north and make landfall somewhere along the northern Gulf Coast as a hurricane late in the week. Increasing confidence in significant impacts to the local area. Impacts: High winds, storm surge, high surf, rip currents, flash flooding, and tornadoes. Hurricane and Storm Surge Watches will likely be issued later today.
ALT Tropical Storm Isaias strengthened as it moved east-northeast across the southwestern Gulf overnight. Changes: Increased speed at landfall, slight eastward shift in the track, intensity at landfall increased. Isaias is forecast to strengthen into a hurricane and turn north, making landfall somewhere along the northern Gulf Coast late this week. **It is looking more likely that Isaias will be a SIGNIFICANT hurricane when it reaches the coast**. Increasing concern for significant impacts to the local area including high winds, high surf, rip currents, storm surge, flash flooding, and tornadoes. Regardless of the strength at landfall, heavy rainfall remains a concern, especially along the coast after last weekend’s heavy rainfall/flash flooding.
