Hurricane Isaias is getting stronger. It is now a major Category 3 storm. This means it can bring dangerous winds and heavy rain. People in the US Gulf Coast should be ready. The storm is expected to make landfall later on Friday and into Saturday. The weather may become worse quickly. This hurricane is the first one in the Atlantic this year. Some conditions in the ocean have been quiet because of El Niño, but now the storm season is starting again.
