Sure looks like one. I think tonight may be interesting - the best fuel is yet to come, shear is relaxing, and the dry air in the western gulf at mid levels will be mixing out.

I have a feeling Isaias will make a run at category three.

Google showing CAT 3 tonight? I'm not quite grasping what I'm seeing
I mean... the ingredients are there. I hope it's a brief peak to that, if it does. Not good though.

James Spann mentioned that ESPN College Gameday will move to inside Coleman Coliseum on UA’s campus Saturday morning due to the risk of strong winds.
Just like 2026 to tease us going hurricaneless, only to slap us with a major hurricane out of nowhere

I guess what I'm not understanding is Google's "Forecast" is showing CAT 3 now, even though it is CAT 2, and keeping it at CAT3 for 24 hours.

It looks sort of similar to Ian -- not as large, but the same general "ragged" -ness and cloud characteristics.

Dallas County in Alabama is now under a Tropical Storm Warning...we were under a Watch earlier today.
Well... I wish it didn't look this good.

When is it supposed to start making that northward turn?
It's already started to; will continue through the morning until it's headed a bit east of due north.
just saw a write up by Al.com I think that there’s some worry of a sting jet setting up somewhere over Alabama tommorw
Looks basically on forecast. Watching tonight for any unexpected strengthening over the high TCHP/deep 26C isotherm pool/Gulf loop eddy. Isaias is a healthy Cat 2 currently.

Just curious, where is Jim Cantore located for Isaias?
Still fighting hard against mid level dry air entrainment.
Since more folks are going to be taking a look at this thread, I'll start linking the CoD page - they've got the fastest GOES viewer on the floater that I've found.
