Oh look, yet another major hurricane forecasted in the east Pacific. 35% of the latest DeepMind ensembles strengthen 21E into a Cat 5 later this week.

NHC’s first forecast for tropical depression 21E takes it northwest, strengthening into a hurricane Wednesday and cat 4 by Friday.

Isaias is expected to strengthen and be a strong hurricane when it approaches the northern Gulf Coast on Friday. A life-threatening storm surge is expected along a portion of the northern Gulf Coast, and a Storm Surge Warning is now in effect. Residents should follow advice given by local officials.

National Hurricane Center forecast for Tropical Storm Isaias, issued October 7, 2026, at 10 PM CDT. Isaias has maximum sustained winds of 70 mph and is moving east-northeast at 9 mph. The storm is forecast to strengthen into a hurricane before approaching the northern Gulf Coast Friday evening, with its center potentially moving inland across Mississippi and Alabama Saturday. Hurricane warnings are in effect along portions of the northern Gulf Coast. The cone represents the probable path of the storm's center, not the extent of hazardous conditions.

National Hurricane Center map showing forecast peak storm surge from Tropical Storm Isaias along the northern Gulf Coast. Storm surge of 5–7 feet above ground level is forecast from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, through Mobile Bay, Alabama, to Indian Pass, Florida. Surrounding coastal areas could experience 3–5 feet near southeastern Louisiana, 4–6 feet east of Indian Pass to the Steinhatchee River, and generally 1–3 feet along portions of coastal Louisiana and the Florida Big Bend. Forecast values represent water heights above normally dry ground.

Isaias will bring areas of heavy rainfall to the central U.S. Gulf coast and much of the Southeast Friday into the weekend. Flash and urban flooding, along with isolated river flooding, will be possible. Visit hurricanes.gov for more.

Weather Prediction Center map showing the greatest flash flood risk over the next five days from Tropical Storm Isaias. A Moderate Risk (at least 40%) is highlighted along portions of the northern Gulf Coast near Mobile, Alabama. A broader Slight Risk (at least 15%) extends across much of Mississippi, Alabama, the Florida Panhandle, parts of Tennessee and Georgia, and portions of the Carolinas. Surrounding areas from the Gulf Coast through the Southeast are under a Marginal Risk.

have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.

As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,

There is an increasing risk of dangerous wind and storm surge impacts along portions of the northern Gulf Coast. Watches could be required on Wednesday. Residents from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle should closely monitor the latest forecast updates and ensure they have a hurricane plan in place

National Hurricane Center forecast cone for Tropical Depression Nine, issued Tuesday, October 6, 2026. The depression is located over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico with maximum sustained winds of 35 mph. The forecast track takes the system northeast across the Gulf, with strengthening to a hurricane possible before reaching the northern Gulf Coast near the Florida Panhandle Friday. The system is then forecast to move inland through the Southeast and toward the Ohio Valley over the weekend. The cone represents the probable path of the storm’s center and does not show the storm’s size.

Preliminary probability forecast for tropical-storm-force winds from Tropical Depression Nine through Sunday, October 11. The highest probabilities extend from the central Gulf of Mexico northeast toward the northern Gulf Coast, with the greatest chances offshore south of Alabama and the Florida Panhandle. Lower probabilities extend into coastal Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.
