I plan to do a recap of Isaias soon. It was an interesting storm, for sure!

MM’s Wx Analysis

The remnants of Isaias are clearly seen in the eastern U.S., where widespread rain showers will persist. Severe storms may even occur for North Carolina and Virginia. Farther west, tropical moisture from “Rachel” has combined with a cold upper-level low to bring a variety of interesting weather from the Southwest to the northern Rockies. Flooding and even heavy snows are impacting various areas.

Farther south, you can see the symbol for Hurrican Simon as he threatens the western coast of Mexico as a high end cat 4 hurricane.

The season’s first winter storm is hitting western Montana! Look at those snow chances!

Today is the first day that I’ve seen the snow depth map show accumulation! Look toward western Montana! In fact, 1.6% of the nation has snow cover this morning!

Today is Saturday, October 10, 2026

5:30 Update: A cool and stable layer of air here at the surface is keeping many of this evening’s wind gusts aloft, unable to reach the surface. Therefore winds have eased considerably this evening. The wind advisory is still in effect but surface observations around the region show little evidence for it to continue. In addition to our cool surface layer, the storm itself also continues to rapidly unwind. The combination of these two factors has therefore led to much more relaxed winds across the area than expected.

The flood watch was canceled earlier, the tornado threat has ended, and now winds are weakening. We’ve been on a good trend for the past few hours, for sure!

Showers will continue to be a threat through the night and at least the first half of Sunday. While the wind has decreased with this system, there are still plenty of showers leftover from it. It will take the system a while to move through the area, which means it will take a while for the showers to move out.

With winds relaxing and threats quickly subsiding, my concern is lower than ever!

I’ve updated the detailed forecast for this update.

I’ve also updated the hourly graph below to remove gusty winds.

I’m also adding tomorrow’s hourly forecast to give you a heads up for what to expect. Moisture will continue to impact the area in the form of scattered showers.

1:30 Update: The wind advisory continues for much of the rest of the day. Some of the strongest gusts may be yet to come.

The flood watch has been canceled early.

The tornado threat has also diminished to the point where that is no longer a concern.

We are enjoying a nice break from what we call the “dry slot” of these low pressure systems. As an FYI, these dry slots are what kill snowfall totals in the winter when we have Gulf lows (ha..you all know me, always thinking about snow. lol). Showers will develop in this dry slot as we go through the afternoon but they will be scattered. Those showers will continue through the night and into the first half of the day Sunday.

Winds will continue through this afternoon, night, and through Sunday. We’re still looking at widespread wind gusts of 30-40 mph today, with isolated gusts as high as 50 mph.

The current radar image below shows our dry slot, with rain on both sides of us. Again, showers will develop within this slot but they will be scattered about, along with areas of drizzle. Notice those wind reports in southern Middle TN. They have several reports of downed trees down in that part of the state.

Look how big this storm continues to be! The leading edge, like what pushed onto the plateau Thursday evening, is now in northern Michigan. Also notice the clearing in East TN. That’s from downsloping winds from the mountains (from the winds blowing from the east). That causes the air to sink into the valley and help clear the skies out. You can also see Tropical Storm Rachel over in the Pacific that will move into southern California late tonight.

My concern is leaning in the right direction now! My main concern is how gusty the winds will get as we go through the day and into the evening.

I’ve updated the forecast below for this update.

I’ve also updated this graphic to remove the tornado threat. I also lowered tonight’s rain chances from 90% to 70%.

12:25 Update: We have indeed found ourselves in an afternoon break in the steadier rain that we had this morning….barely. We’re sandwiched steadier rain in East TN and steadier rain across much of Middle TN. Scattered showers will develop even within this break, while we all continue with gusty winds.

A wind advisory continues for today. Be prepared for sporadic power outages, as some wind gust could hit 50 mph. Widespread gusts of 30-40 mph are likely to be common.

I’ll keep a close eye on Isaias and issue special updated, as needed.

The concern meter is unchanged from where I started. We’ll see how this progresses today!

MM’s Wx Analysis

The impacts of Isaias really stand out on the daily weather map. However, folks in southern California are keeping an eye on Rachel, a tropical storm expected to make landfall there tonight. This is rather rare. The last time they had a tropical system impact them was 2023. Before that, you have to go back to 1997. Interestingly, Rachel is quite responsible for all the moisture you see up the Rockies. Her moisture, combined with a cold upper-level low, is helping produced all sorts of precip across the West.

You can’t see it on the map but another major hurricane is hitting western Mexico tonight as a possible cat 5.
