Isaias Has Moved Away: Tropical Storm and Storm Surge Warnings Lifted. Hazards Remain

State of emergency for Bay, Calhoun, Franklin, Gulf, Holmes, Jackson and Washington counties (Executive Order 26-202)

• All 7 counties: NWS Tallahassee cancelled the Tropical Storm Warning for every zone in Bay, Calhoun, Franklin, Gulf, Holmes, Jackson and Washington counties at 4:03 AM CT, and the Storm Surge Warning for coastal Bay, Gulf and Franklin.
• Coastal Bay: High Surf Warning through Sunday 10 AM CT, Coastal Flood Advisory until 11 AM CT Saturday (1 to 3 ft of water above normally dry ground possible), and a high rip current risk through late Sunday night.
• Coastal Gulf and Coastal Franklin: High Surf Advisory through Sunday 10 AM CT, Coastal Flood Advisory until 11 AM CT Saturday, and a high rip current risk through late Sunday night.
• Inland Bay, Gulf and Franklin, plus Calhoun, Holmes, Jackson and Washington: no active NWS watches, warnings or advisories as of 4:20 AM CT. No Flood Watch or Flood Warnings were in effect for our seven counties, but standing water remains and new alerts can be issued quickly.
• Tornadoes: NHC says a tornado risk persists through this afternoon across parts of the eastern Florida Panhandle, mainly in rain bands.

Post-Tropical Cyclone Isaias is over central Alabama, about 25 miles south-southwest of Montgomery, with 35 mph winds, moving north at 14 mph. NHC issued its last advisory at 4 AM CT. Lifted warnings do not mean the danger is over. Stay out of the Gulf: surf and rip currents are life-threatening through the weekend. Follow your county emergency management for road closures, curfews and re-entry before you travel.

• Downed power lines: stay away, assume every line is live, and report it to your utility. Don't touch anything in contact with a line.
• Flooded roads: Turn around, don't drown. Never drive or walk through floodwater.
• Debris: watch for nails, broken glass, damaged trees and weakened structures. Wear sturdy shoes and gloves during cleanup.
• Generators: run them outdoors only, at least 20 feet from doors, windows and vents, never in a garage. Carbon monoxide can kill. Use a battery CO alarm.
• Check on neighbors, especially older adults and people with medical needs, if you can do it safely.

As of NHC Advisory 15, the final NHC advisory (4:00 AM CT Sat Oct 10, 2026), and NWS Tallahassee alerts (checked 4:20 AM CT). Check NWS Tallahassee and your county for the latest.
