BREAKING...HURRICANE ISAIAS NEARING CATEGORY 3! As of 4AM, max sustained winds are at 110 mph. Cat 3 starts at 111 mph, so just one more mph and we'll have a major hurricane. Still looks like landfall will be Friday night near the Florida/Alabama line.
WE JUST MISSED A 121-YEAR RECORD BY MINUTES! The latest-arriving first hurricane in recorded Atlantic history occurred on this day, October 8th, 1905. Isaias became a hurricane last night at 11:30PM...if it was upgraded 30 minutes later, we would have tied that long record!

Tue Oct 6: Here is the latest update on newly formed Tropical Depression #Nine from the National Hurricane Center:
TD #Nine in the western Gulf is forecast to strengthen. There is an increasing risk of dangerous wind & storm surge impacts along portions of the northern Gulf Coast. Watches could be required on Wednesday. The system will bring areas of heavy rain to the central U.S. Gulf coast Friday into the weekend, with flooding possible. Residents from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle should monitor the latest forecast updates & ensure they have their hurricane plan in place.
Tropical depression #9 has formed in the Gulf. Expected to become Hurricane Isaias. Projected landfall in Mississippi this Friday afternoon/evening.

NHC will initiate advisories on Tropical Depression Nine (formerly AL92), located in the southwest Gulf of America, at 400 PM CDT (2100 UTC).
The 7AM update is out, showing the Gulf low has a 90% chance of development. Tuesday computer models move the Gulf storm east of Baton Rouge, but it's still too close for comfort. Spaghetti plots show a landfall late Friday into Saturday between New Orleans and Gulf Shores.
