When a system starts to develop in the Atlantic, FPREN keeps an eye on it. The map displayed below provides a live feed via the National Hurricane Center and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration—so you can watch closely, monitor the path, and be prepared if necessary long before any storm makes landfall.
Numerous damaging tornadoes are possible even after the hurricane moves inland and weakens; the heavy rains will continue throughout Saturday morning across the Florida Panhandle. (Version in Spanish here, too)
Landfalling tropical systems have a history of producing tornadoes, but the atmospheric ingredients around Hurricane Isaias appear conducive for supercells and tornadoes across northern Florida.
Tropical Storm Isaias is expected strengthen into a Category 2 hurricane on Friday. The cyclone is headed towards the northern Gulf but moisture will impact much of Florida.
