On Friday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issued an executive order declaring a state of emergency for various counties in Florida including Orange, Osceola, Broward, and Miami-Dade. Governor DeSantis followed this executive order with a letter to President Donald Trump requesting a declaration of a pre-landfall emergency for certain counties in Florida.

According to FOX 35, the White House has since approved that request and the Federal Emergency Management Agency has offered federal disaster assistance to Florida in advance of the hurricane’s landfall.

As of the latest updates, Hurricane Isaias is expected to bring up to 6 inches of rain in parts of southern and eastern Central Florida. Areas of Florida to the southeast are expect to see the worst of the weather from Saturday evening into Sunday morning, whereas areas of Florida that are further north could see hurricane conditions developing on Sunday.

Governor DeSantis has urged Floridians to have seven days worth of supplies prepared. Heavy rainfall and strong winds may bring flooding to parts of Florida, so residents are advised to take appropriate precautions.

UPDATE: FOX 35 Orlando has stated that Hurricane Isaias has been downgraded to a tropical storm. Although it continues to move closer to Florida’s east coast, there is still a possible risk for severe weather. While the storm nears Florida overnight, it could always regain strength to become a hurricane again.

As of 5 PM EST on Saturday, the National Hurricane Center stated that Tropical Storm Isaias was moving 10 miles per hour towards the northwest with maximum sustained winds of 70 miles per hour.
