Tropical Storm Isaias was moving across the Gulf of Mexico toward the U.S. Gulf Coast, with forecasters expecting it to strengthen into the first Atlantic hurricane of the 2026 season.
Tropical storm and hurricane watches were issued along parts of the Gulf Coast, WDSU reported, while warnings of a hurricane threat extended from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle, according to CBS News. The storm was forecast to move northeast across the central Gulf and make landfall late Friday or early Saturday.
Forecasts cited by CBS News and America Report said Isaias could reach Category 2 strength by Friday. America Report said the area at greatest risk stretched from southeastern Louisiana through Mississippi and Alabama to the western Florida Panhandle, though the storm’s track and intensity remained subject to change. The outlet also reported a possibility that Isaias could briefly reach Category 3 strength if conditions remained favorable.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency for 25 counties because of the storm, WESH reported. Residents in threatened areas were stocking up on water, food and other essentials as officials and forecasters monitored Isaias.
