This weekend is also the Shrimp Festival in Gulf Shores and Crusin’ The Coast in Biloxi. I would hate to be the event organizers for both.

Gfs looks to have it at cat 2 approaching landfall

Pretty close to where expected. Starting to get organized vertically as the sun goes down.

18Z Hurricane model runs:

HWRF 18Z - 952 brushing the far SE LA coast, into MS gulf coast.


HMON 957 into Gulf Shores.



HAFS-A&B - sheared to bits, 990s into the same area.




GFS - 970s, straight up into Mobile Bay.

Hopefully Isaias isn’t as bad for the Alabama coast as another I named storm, Ivan.

Maybe a bit of a wacky suggestion. But how about the crimson tide and Georgia play in the Atlanta dome . Lol idk the logistics for that but I hope they figure out something

18Z ECMWF
Decent model agreement on track across the board. 975mb, FWIW - Globals and accurate intensity are not typically friends.

A lot of the hurricane mesoscale models flipped to a significant landfall on the MS/AL border. HFAS A and B, HMON, and HREF all show ~950mb shortly before landfall.

NHC issuing advisories for TS Isaias. Max intensity forecast 95 kt @ 6z on the 9th.

Could be shaping up to be one of those classic seasons of "It only takes one..."

And of course it's got to be the "I" name.

I hope not. I'm starting to get Hurricane Opal vibes from this one.
