Add to Preferred Sources Waves grow more powerful in Pensacola Beach, Florida ahead of the arrival of Hurricane Isaias. Isaias weakened from a hurricane to a post-tropical cyclone early Saturday after it made landfall in northwestern Florida, where it lashed the U.S. Gulf Coast with heavy rain and strong winds, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said.
"Isaias has very rapidly weakened over Alabama and has transitioned into a post-tropical cyclone," the NHC said in an update.
The cyclone should move northward and north-northeastward over the weekend and gradually weaken as it moves across the Tennessee and Ohio valleys, the NHC added.
