Hurricane Isaias Targets Florida Panhandle, Alabama

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a broad low-pressure area that may form over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico, with development expected to be slow and a 30% chance of becoming a tropical depression or storm within seven days. It is too early to assess possible Gulf Coast impacts; if a storm forms, it would be named Isaias, in a season that has yet to produce an Atlantic hurricane.
