How Hurricane Isaias could impact Canadian weather over Thanksgiving weekend

Forecasters say the storm could deliver 10 to 15 millimetres of rain and gusts up to 50 kilometres an hour over the holiday weekend.

  • Hurricane Isaias strengthened into a Category 3 storm Friday with 120 mph winds, approaching the northern Gulf Coast with landfall expected late Friday or early Saturday morning.
  • Baldwin County, Gulf Shores, and Orange Beach declared local states of emergency Thursday, with officials warning of 5 to 7 feet of storm surge and issuing voluntary evacuation recommendations for coastal and flood-prone areas.
  • The National Hurricane Center forecasts 4 to 8 inches of rain across southern Alabama and the Florida Panhandle, with localized totals potentially reaching 15 inches, while gusts of 50 to 60 mph could topple trees and power lines.
  • Local authorities canceled weekend events including the 4th Annual North Georgia Folk Festival, while State Fire Marshal Blaise Ingoglia warned that floodwaters could trigger dangerous fires in lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles.
  • Remnants of the storm are forecast to reach the Great Lakes and New Jersey by Sunday, with the system turning eastward across the Appalachians by early next week, bringing additional rainfall to the Northeast.
