Discussion
“Isaias” has intensified into a category 1 hurricane in the overnight hours and continues to head on a northwesterly track that will move it over the Bahama Islands during the next 12-24 hours and then likely to a position just off the east coast of Florida by Sunday. As a result, heavy rain and strong winds will likely arrive in the southern and eastern parts of Florida by later tomorrow night and continue through the day on Sunday. There remains the possibility that the core of the hurricane could impact the barrier islands and immediate coastal areas, with hurricane force gusts and damaging wind potential later in the weekend. By Monday, "Isaias" is likely to push towards the Carolina coastline - perhaps as a hurricane - and then it could take a ride up along the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US coastlines early next week. Stay tuned for updates later today and continue with preparations along the east coast of Florida for significant rain and strong winds.
