Hurricane Isaias poses a life-threatening risk to the Florida Panhandle and Alabama due to rapid intensification and high winds.

Hurricane Isaias has strengthened to 120 mph winds (Cat 3) and will make landfall late today at the edge of the Florida panhandle and slice through the middle of Alabama as it travels north and then northeast. It will bring life-threatening storm surge, rainfall flooding and high winds to coastal areas and heavy rain into the southeast states over the weekend.
