Tropical Storm Isaias is located across the Southwestern Gulf and is forecast to intensify into a hurricane over the next 24 hours. Some model uncertainties still exist regarding timing, intensity, and exact track, so refinements to the forecast will continue to be applied. Central Alabama effects will include heavy rainfall and gusty winds from Friday into Saturday. Continue to check the latest forecasts from official sources. Start considering preparations for power outages and flooding.

There is a risk for scattered downed trees, power outages, and flooding for Central Alabama. Stock 2-3 days of food, water, and medications; flashlights and batteries; kids’ entertainment; charge phones and tablets. Ensure you have items that meet YOUR needs. Keep generators at least 20 feet from windows/doors to prevent fatal carbon monoxide poisoning. Do not touch or clear trees entangled with powerlines; notify your local utility or emergency services. Never cross flooded roadways.

The forecast cone can tell you the most likely path of the center of a hurricane, but impacts can and will occur well outside the cone. For more information, check out this video: https://youtu.be/ZV3R5eR06cY?si=oFgLlDRV-04clXYj
