    🌧️2026  ISAIAS UPDATE | SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 

    Isaias is now a post-tropical cyclone, but the flooding threat remains significant across parts of the Southeast. As of 4:00 AM CDT, Isaias was located about 25 miles south-southwest of Montgomery, Alabama, moving north at 14 mph. Maximum sustained winds have decreased to 35 mph, and gradual weakening is expected as the system moves across Alabama and into the Tennessee Valley. Isaias is forecast to dissipate Sunday. 🟠 FLOODING REMAINS THE PRIMARY CONCERN Rainfall through the weekend could bring: 4–8 inches across southern Alabama, the Florida Panhandle, and southwestern Georgia. Localized totals up to 15 inches across portions of the Florida Panhandle and Florida Big Bend. 2–5 inches across much of the remainder of the Southeast, with isolated totals up to 10 inches possible in the Southern Appalachians and coastal Carolinas. Flash flooding, urban flooding, and river flooding remain serious concerns, particularly across southern Alabama, the Florida Panhandle, and southwestern Georgia. Landslides are also possible in the Southern Appalachians. 🌪️ TORNADO THREAT CONTINUES A tornado risk will persist this morning into the afternoon across parts of the eastern Florida Panhandle, Georgia, and the Carolinas. 🌊 GULF COAST BEACH HAZARDS Water levels along Florida’s Gulf Coast will continue to recede. However, swells from Isaias will continue affecting Gulf Coast beaches, creating dangerous surf and potentially life-threatening rip currents. ✅ ALL TROPICAL STORM AND STORM SURGE WARNINGS HAVE BEEN DISCONTINUED. No watches or warnings remain in effect for Isaias. ⚠️ Bottom line: Although Isaias is weakening, heavy rainfall and flash flooding remain the biggest threats. Never drive through flooded roadways, and stay alert for warnings from your local National Weather Service office. This is the National Hurricane Center’s final public advisory on Isaias. The Weather Prediction Center will issue subsequent public advisories beginning at 10:00 AM CDT. #WeatherInsights #Isaias #Flooding #SevereWeather #TropicalWeather The post 🌧️2026  ISAIAS UPDATE | SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10,  appeared first on Weather Insights.

    Labor Day Weather Outlook: Hot and Mostly Sunny Across Southeast Texas

    Happy Labor Day, Southeast Texas! 🇺🇸☀️ If you’re heading outdoors for the holiday, be prepared for hot and mostly sunny conditions across the region. Temperatures are expected to climb to around 97°F, while the heat index could make it feel as hot as 107°F during the afternoon. A 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms is expected after 1 PM, so a few locations could see a passing storm or brief downpour. Winds are expected to remain light and calm, providing little relief from the afternoon heat. Heat Safety Tips If you’re spending Labor Day outside, take precautions against the heat: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Take frequent breaks in the shade or air conditioning. Avoid prolonged exposure to the afternoon heat. Check on children, older adults, and pets. Never leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle. Keep an eye on the sky as isolated thunderstorms develop during the afternoon. While rain chances are relatively low, any thunderstorms that develop could bring brief heavy rain, lightning, and gusty winds. Overall, Southeast Texas is in for a hot and mostly sunny Labor Day, with temperatures near 97°F and a few afternoon showers or thunderstorms possible. Have a safe, cool, and happy Labor Day! #SoutheastTexas #LaborDay #HeatSafety #TexasWeather #WeatherUpdate #weatherinsights  The post Labor Day Weather Outlook: Hot and Mostly Sunny Across Southeast Texas appeared first on Weather Insights.

    🌴 SOUTHEAST TEXAS TROPICAL WEATHER UPDATE — SUNDAY, AUGUST 30 | 2:00 PM CDT

    The National Hurricane Center has increased the chance of tropical development in the northern Gulf of America to 50% through the next 48 hours and 50% through 7 days. A low-pressure system, designated AL97, is currently about 125 miles south of southeastern Louisiana and has become better organized. The system is expected to move slowly west-northwestward, with a possible short-lived tropical depression or tropical storm developing before reaching the Upper Texas or southwestern Louisiana coast Tuesday or Tuesday night. 🌧️ What could Southeast Texas see? Even if the system does not become a named tropical storm, the main concern for our area is locally heavy rainfall. • Periods of heavy rain and thunderstorms • Locally intense rainfall that could produce street/urban flooding • Gusty winds, particularly near heavier storms • Reduced visibility and difficult driving conditions • Potentially higher rain totals in localized areas ⚠️ The exact impacts are NOT known yet. Small changes in the track or development of this system could significantly affect where the heaviest rain falls. Residents along the Upper Texas coast should continue monitoring updates over the next 24–48 hours. Now is a good time to make sure you have multiple ways to receive weather alerts and to review your flood/emergency plans. Bottom line: Don’t focus solely on whether this becomes a tropical storm. Heavy rainfall could be the biggest concern for Southeast Texas regardless of development. We’ll continue watching AL97 closely and sharing updates as the forecast becomes clearer. 🌴🌧️ #SoutheastTexas #TexasWeather #TropicalWeather #GulfOfAmerica #AL97 #HoustonWeather #TropicalUpdate #Weatherinsights The post 🌴 SOUTHEAST TEXAS TROPICAL WEATHER UPDATE — SUNDAY, AUGUST 30 | 2:00 PM CDT appeared first on Weather Insights.
