Gov. Ron DeSantis has declared a state of emergency in 25 north Florida counties, from Escambia to Baker counties, as Tropical Storm Isaias is forecast to strengthen and threaten parts of the Gulf Coast later this week. The executive order, signed Tuesday, allows the state to begin positioning emergency resources ahead of the season’s likely first hurricane and gives agencies additional flexibility to respond if conditions worsen. "Today, I signed an Executive Order issuing a state of emergency ahead of potential impacts,” DeSantis said in a statement. "This order will allow the Florida Division of Emergency Management to stage critical preparedness resources and ensure Florida is ready to respond." State emergency officials are mobilizing generators, fuel, flood barriers, bottled water, shelf-stable meals, tarps, sandbags and other supplies to staging areas in Tallahassee and Santa Rosa County for rapid deployment.

While the exact track remains uncertain, officials warned that impacts could extend well to the east of the landfall location. North Florida could experience heavy rainfall, damaging winds, coastal flooding

NWS meteorologists were able to see images from the radar to make forecasting decisions, but the lack of public access so frustrated Weather Channel meteorologist and celebrity hurricane chaser Jim Cantore that he called for radar services to be privatized. "Thank God it's not a severe situation, however, flooding and the need for rainfall rates is bad enough," Cantore said on social media Oct. 5. "This will likely go undocumented except for what official observation sights tell us. We need to advance this area of our weather enterprise."
