Isaias tried to reorganize over the warm water of the Gulf Stream overnight, but the hostile upper winds and dry air won the battle. The maximum intensity of the winds has come down, but it remains a well-organized storm that can do damage if the core comes over the coast. It has been wobbling, but it is pretty much on track.
Florida’s east coast is no longer under a Hurricane Warning, but as the center of Tropical Storm Isaias moves away from South Florida, we can still expect some rain bands and periods of downpours Sunday.
Tropical Storm Isaias is forecast to bring effects to Florida this weekend, with much of the southeastern coast of the state under hurricane or tropical storm watches or warnings.
The forward movement of Hurricane Isaias has slowed down, and it won’t near South Florida until Saturday evening or Sunday on the current forecast track. But there will be off-and-on tropical downpours from outer bands of the Category 1 storm felt in our area Saturday morning and afternoon.
Hurricane Isaias’ reach has gotten smaller Saturday morning, with hurricane-force winds extending outward up to 25 miles from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extending outward up to 115 miles.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is holding a news conference at the State Emergency Operations Center regarding Hurricane Isaias at 8:30 a.m. Saturday.
Parts of Broward County could see anywhere from 2 to 4 inches of rain from Hurricane Isaias and possibly up to 6 inches in some areas, bringing the potential for flooding. Some coastal areas may also experience hurricane-force gusts of 75 mph or higher.
Hurricane Isaias has shown signs of strengthening on satellite Friday, and some of the computer models have it inching closer to the Florida coast as the storm approaches Saturday.
