\"Watching \"Watching Watching Hurricane Isaias in the Gulf <\/a> <\/p>\n

FOX 13 meteorologist Jim Weber is tracking Hurricane Isaias in the Gulf. The major Category 3 hurricane is likely to make landfall late Friday or early Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

TAMPA, Fla. – Hurricane Isaias is moving toward the northern Gulf Coast as a Category 3 storm, bringing heavy rain, storm surge and coastal flooding threats to parts of Florida and the Gulf region late Friday night into Saturday morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Heavy rainfall threatens Bay Area <\/p>\n

What we know:<\/p>\n

The Bay Area has seen widespread rainfall totals between 4 and 7 inches over the past 7 days, with radar estimates showing up to 12 inches in some coastal locations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

Additional rain over the weekend is expected to stay generally under 2 inches, but any new precipitation could trigger further flooding due to saturated ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What we don’t know:<\/p>\n

Weather officials have not yet specified the exact locations that will see the highest localized rain totals within the broader forecast track.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\" Landfall path and coastal surge <\/p>\n

By the numbers:<\/p>\n

Areas directly where Hurricane Isaias makes landfall can expect 4 to 8 inches of rain, with localized totals reaching up to 15 inches.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Coastal waters are expected to surge 5 to 7 feet near and east of the landfall center. Along the coast from Citrus County to Pinellas County, storm surge will range between 1 and 3 feet, leading to higher tide levels and minor coastal flooding.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\" Drought impacts and week forecast <\/p>\n

What’s next:<\/p>\n

The heavy rainfall will significantly affect regional drought conditions, though updated figures will not be reflected until the U.S. Drought Monitor releases its next weekly report on Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tropical downpours remain possible through the weekend before drier air moves into the region on Monday, dropping humidity and bringing sunshine early next week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
