A weak cold front will lower rain chances and also bring slightlly lower humidity values for much of Florida for part of this week.

Hurricane Isaias made landfall just outside of Pensacola on Friday. After reaching major hurricane status, the cyclone weakened before landfall.

Damaging winds, tornadoes, and flash flood risk will continue throughout the weekend across the Southeast into the Mid-Atlantic.

Numerous damaging tornadoes are possible even after the hurricane moves inland and weakens; the heavy rains will continue throughout Saturday morning across the Florida Panhandle. (Version in Spanish here, too)

Landfalling tropical systems have a history of producing tornadoes, but the atmospheric ingredients around Hurricane Isaias appear conducive for supercells and tornadoes across northern Florida.

Isaias strengthened into a Category 3 hurricane on Friday and is expected to make landfall near Pensacola by Saturday morning.

Tropical Storm Isaias is expected strengthen into a Category 2 hurricane on Friday. The cyclone is headed towards the northern Gulf but moisture will impact much of Florida.

Florida faces continued heavy rain and flooding concerns as the strengthening tropical system moves toward the northern Gulf Coast, with landfall possible late Friday or early Saturday.

A strengthening El Niño could bring Florida a wetter, cloudier and stormier dry season. Here is why the risk of flooding, squall lines and tornadoes typically increases—especially across Central and South Florida.

Gradual development is possible this week, but it will likely take the whole week for anything to develop. Rain across Florida this week is due to a front and local effects.
