Hurricane Isaias upgraded to Category 3 major hurricane with 120 mph winds, NHC says

The National Hurricane Center upgraded Hurricane Isaias to a Category 3 major hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 120 mph, based on data from a U.S. Air Force Reserve WC-130 Hurricane Hunter aircraft. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis had earlier said the storm was strengthening as the US Gulf Coast prepares for landfall, with a hurricane warning active from the Mississippi-Alabama border through southern Alabama amid Gulf oil production shut-ins.
