Isaias intensifies to a Category 1 hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico and threatens rain

On Wednesday, October 7, Isaías intensified into a Category 1 hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, packing sustained winds of 120 kilometers per hour. The storm system has triggered alerts across the eastern and southeastern regions of Mexico due to the threat of heavy rainfall and high winds.
