Hurricane Isaias Approaching the Gulf Coast; Remnants of Rachel to Impact the Southwest U.S.

Hurricane Isaias is expected to make landfall along the U.S. northern Gulf Coast late Friday or early Saturday. A life-threatening storm surge is expected along the coast with damaging wind gusts extending well inland. Areas of heavy rainfall are forecast throughout much of the Southeast U.S. The remnants of Rachel will bring gusty winds and heavy rainfall to the Southwest U.S. this weekend. Read More >

Strong northerly winds will develop Saturday, and will remain strong through Saturday night. These winds will be highest around coastal areas, where 30 to 40 mph gusts will be likely. Locally stronger gusts are expected over some coastal headlands and ridges.
A windy, dry cold front will impact the area beginning tomorrow. This will end the long stretch of above normally warm temperatures. No rain is expected, yet gusty north winds are likely for coastal areas as well as those in and along exposed terrain.
