10:00 AM CT 10/9/26: Hurricane Isaias is about 195 miles south of Pensacola Florida. Winds 120 mph. Center of Isaias expected to reach the western florida panhandle coast this evening. Isaias is moving toward the north-northeast near 16 mph. Moving north-northeast at 16 mph.

000

Ahead of it, highs are back in the lower to middle 80s for Wednesday and Thursday, though more showers and storms may not be far off toward next weekend.

000

However, models are hinting at another change up to the weather pattern in the form of low pressure getting going across the upper midwest. That may try to drag a front through here later next week.

100

Since this isn’t a traditional frontal boundary with cool air on the back side of it, we go right back to where we have been to start next week: sunny and low to mid 80s. That’s a theme that’s with us for Monday and Tuesday.

100

Lows at night remain in the upper 50s to near 60º as stubborn clouds take a while to clear.

100

The remnants of Isaias will continue working through early on Sunday. Showers stick around, though start to taper off as the remnant low gets whisked away in the upper level flow. The daytime hours should see highs back in the lower 70s thanks to the clouds continuing to hang overhead.

100

Showers and perhaps some rumbles of thunder continue overnight as the remnants work through the region. The rain and clouds will keep lows mild for early October, only back to August-like lower 60s.

100

The east side of formerly tropical systems have quite a chaotic low level wind field, adding rotation that can lead to quick tornado spin-ups, even in what are mostly showers. It’s something we’ll be watching very closely, though our saving grace will be the utter lack of instability to fuel storms.

100

Clouds and the first bands of showers should start to work in as we head into Saturday afternoon and evening. Winds could gust at times 25-30mph as the circulation works in. Rain showers will be plentiful in this tropical environment, but we’ll also have to watch for a few strong storms.

100

We start to see changes on Saturday. Clouds will be on the increase as what’s left of Isaias moves into the Tennessee Valley. Cloud cover keeps us milder with highs topping out in the mid 70s.

100

However, we’ll enjoy one more day of early fall brilliance before the rain. High pressure to our east remains in control, keeping us sunny and hot this afternoon. Highs peak in the upper 80s during the afternoon. Overnight we’re still dry, but moisture isn’t far off. Lows back in the lower 60s.

Keep an eye on how the "Cone of Uncertainty" changes, and follow WXorNot for updates as things develop.

The cone shifts because our computer models can't perfectly predict how the storm will behave or how it will interact with other weather systems. That's also why rainfall totals, wind speeds, and other impacts are hard to pin down before a hurricane makes landfall.

100

The "Cone of Uncertainty" shows the possible paths of the storm's center, and if you've been watching, you've probably noticed it shifting around lately.

100

Isaias is forecast to make landfall on the Gulf Coast, where the impacts will be much greater than in Kentucky. But hurricanes can give inland forecasters even bigger headaches.

100

It was able to do this because of the very warm Gulf waters, which are around 86 degrees, and because there was little wind shear (stronger winds at higher altitudes that can tear a storm apart) early on.

100

Isaias went through a process known as rapid intensification, where a storm's wind speeds increase by at least 35 mph in 24 hours or less.

100

The big weather story taking over everyone's screens right now is Hurricane Isaias. It recently reached Category 1 strength and is projected to become a Category 2 over the Gulf before it makes landfall.

4:00 PM CT 10/8/26: Hurricane Isaias is about 215 miles north of Progreso Mexico. Winds 100 mph. Preparations to protect life and property from storm surge and damaging winds in the warning area should be rushed to completion today. Moving northeast at 12 mph.

000

If you're down on the Gulf Coast for fall break, it might be time to think about cutting those plans short. There is still a lot of uncertainty in the exact forecast for this system, but your WXorNot team will keep you in the loop as it develops.

000

That's right, the big story is that this weekend we will feel the inland effects of the tropics. While the timing hasn't been fully figured out yet, we do know that late Saturday into Sunday we could see heavy rain and gusty winds. There is also a chance for some strong storms with this system.

100

On Friday, temperatures go the other way. High pressure will shift east, leaving us with a southeasterly wind. Highs tomorrow will be in the upper 80s, even pushing 90, but dew points should keep things dry. Enjoy the last full day of sunshine tomorrow before Isaias pays WABBLES a visit.

100

For your Thursday, temps look to warm into the low to mid 80s before a weak cold front slides in this afternoon. This front won't do much for the temps, but it will dry things out. Temps should fall to the upper 70s by the time the Tops kick off, with dew points dropping all the way into the 30s.

100

Good Thursday morning, everyone! I hope we're all enjoying the sunshine. Temperatures will continue to warm up today and tomorrow, and this weekend we have Isaias coming in for a little visit.
