· 2026-10-08T11:50:37+00:00Latest Thursday AM NHC update on when you might start seeing Tropical Storm force winds. Feeder bands extend well north of the the actual center so these happen earlier than landfall. Thus the closures, evacuations, etc you might see beginning early. 105mph Hurricane the last
AI visual note: This image is an NHC "Earliest Reasonable Arrival Time of Tropical-Storm-Force Winds" map from a Thursday, October 8, 2026, 4 AM CDT advisory showing the projected timing and probability of sustained 34+ kt winds from Hurricane Isaias moving north through the Gulf, with tropical-storm-force winds expected to reach the Mississippi/Alabama coast by Friday 8 PM, the New Orleans area by Friday 8 AM, and the central Gulf by Thursday 8 PM. It supports the post by illustrating the earlier wind arrival times (relative to landfall) that are prompting early closures and evacuations, with the storm noted as a 105 mph hurricane.
