Isaias strengthened into the first hurricane of the Atlantic season overnight Wednesday as it surged towards the U.S. Gulf Coast on Thursday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
In forecasting Hurricane Isaias, meteorologists at the National Hurricane Center in Miami have shaped their predictions to closely match an AI hurricane model from Google DeepMind.
With less than two months remaining in the hurricane season, the potential for a ninth named tropical storm in the Atlantic basin is brewing in the southern Gulf. Since the Atlantic's season began on June 1, it has only seen eight named storms this year, while El Niño continues to bring a more active season in the Pacific. The season ends Nov. 30.
