Isaias path and forecast map
Isaias is identified as AL092026 in the Atlantic basin. Use the map and its forecast-hour labels to distinguish the current center from future positions. The cone describes uncertainty in the center’s track; wind, rain and coastal flooding can extend beyond it. Compare the map with the latest public advisory and forecast discussion.
Florida Panhandle, Alabama and U.S. Gulf Coast updates
For these coasts, open the latest NHC advisory and read the places named in its watches and warnings. Consult the local National Weather Service for rainfall, inland flooding and marine products, and local emergency authorities for evacuation instructions. A forecast concerning the Gulf Coast does not establish the warning status of every town.
Wind category and storm surge are different products
The wind figure is maximum sustained wind, while movement describes how fast the center travels. A hurricane category summarizes wind strength; it cannot determine the coastal water level or inland rainfall. The linked storm-surge guide explains surge and storm tide, and the watch-versus-warning guide explains NHC terminology.
When is the next Isaias update?
The source advisory time tells you when NHC issued the bulletin; the feed-check time tells you when this website requested it. The page checks every five minutes while open. Read the next-advisory section of the official bulletin for its publication schedule; manually refreshing cannot create a new forecast.
