Tropical Storm Isaias: What It Means for Marco Island
If you have been around Marco Island for any length of time, seeing a named storm beginning with an “I” may understandably make you take a closer look at the forecast.
Based on the latest forecast, Tropical Storm Isaias is expected to move toward the northern Gulf Coast, with no direct tropical impacts currently forecast for Marco Island. We may continue to see typical South Florida showers and thunderstorms, but no local watches or warnings are in effect at this time. Forecasts can change, so we encourage everyone to stay informed.
While this system is not expected to heavily impact our community, it is a good reminder that hurricane season continues through November 30. It only takes one storm to make preparation important.
Now is a good time to make sure you have:
- A plan for your family, pets, and any medical needs
- Enough food, water, medications, and essential supplies
- A way to receive weather alerts and emergency information
- A current understanding of your evacuation zone and evacuation plan
When a storm may affect Marco Island, City staff begin monitoring forecasts and coordinating with Collier County Emergency Management and partner agencies. Police, Fire Rescue, Public Works, and other City departments prepare to maintain essential services, share timely information, assess local conditions, and support response and recovery operations as needed.
