Timeline:<\/p>\n

Local perspective:<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the New York City area could see remnants of Isaias from Sunday night into Monday.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Isaias has formed in the southern Gulf and is forecast to rapidly intensify into a Category 2 hurricane and charge toward the northern Gulf Coast later this week. Meanwhile, the NYC area, including parts of NJ, could see remnants this weekend. FOX 5 NY’s Mike Woods joins Newsroom Live with Dan Bowens with the latest forecast.<\/p>\n “It’s more like tropically-fed showers, so it’s more like regular showers coming in that have a lot of tropical moisture, and sometimes they have the potential to give us some pretty heavy downpours,” FOX 5 NY’s Mike Woods said.<\/p>\n Woods said some flooding is even possible.<\/p>\n What we don’t know:<\/p>\n Some forecast models show Isaias weakening at landfall, while others show the storm strengthening as strong winds high in the atmosphere interact with it from the north.<\/p>\n The backstory:<\/p>\n September ended without a hurricane for the first time in 32 years, despite it being the climatological peak of the season. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Source: This story was written based on information from FOX Weather, the National Hurricane Center, the FOX 35 Orlando digital team and FOX 5 NY’s Mike Woods.<\/p>\n New York<\/a>Severe Weather<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK – Tropical Storm Isaias has formed in the southern Gulf and is forecast to rapidly intensify…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":367208,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,9,24,56,63,806,129,131,130,618,133],"class_list":["post-367207","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-severe-weather","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news","tag-us","tag-weather"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367207","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=367207"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367207\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/367208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=367207"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=367207"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=367207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Tropical](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1791407544_309_uchn1mesyzp8zek3.jpg\")
