The Hurricane Warning has been expanded to now include Escambia County, Alabama (further inland from the coast) due to the likelihood of sustained winds up to hurricane force in parts of that county as well.

Heavy Rain, Gusty Winds, and Coastal Flooding Threaten Southeast Texas, Louisiana, and Florida Panhandle as Hybrid Gulf Storm Isaias Could Form This Week

HOUSTON, TX — A tropical or subtropical storm could form in the Gulf later this week, bringing a growing threat to the northern Gulf Coast by next weekend. The hybrid nature of the system means it is likely to be a large, messy rainmaker, with strong winds felt far from its center. Areas from southeast Texas to the Florida Panhandle should monitor the disturbance closely. If the system becomes a named storm, it would be called Isaias.
