How Hurricane Isaias could impact Canadian weather over Thanksgiving weekend

Environment Canada expects 10 to 15 mm of rain and 50 km/h gusts, potentially disrupting outdoor holiday activities for residents throughout the region.

  • Hurricane Isaias strengthened into a Category 1 storm with 80-mph winds, with the National Hurricane Center forecasting landfall near the Alabama-Florida line late Friday or early Saturday, threatening the Gulf Coast with high winds and life-threatening storm surge.
  • Alabama Governor Kay Ivey declared a state of emergency for 40 counties effective through October 14, 2026, while Baldwin County officials opened shelters and closed government facilities Friday to prioritize public safety ahead of the approaching storm.
  • Forecasters warn of 5-7 feet of storm surge and dangerous rip currents along coastal Alabama, while State Fire Marshal Blaise Ingoglia cautioned that flooded electric vehicles and lithium-ion batteries pose serious fire risks during the storm.
  • The Annual National Shrimp Festival and various community events were canceled, while transportation officials warned that bridges will close once sustained winds reach 45 mph, disrupting regional travel through the weekend.
  • Remnants of the hurricane are forecast to track north toward the Ohio Valley and New Jersey, with forecasters predicting 1 to 2 inches of rain Sunday into Monday, though exact timing and amounts remain uncertain.
