What happened
Tropical Depression #9 was forecast to become Hurricane Isaias by Thursday. The storm intensified to a Category 3 hurricane on October 9. NOAA is currently tracking Isaias as a rare Atlantic storm.
Why it matters
The storm marks the first Atlantic hurricane of the season in over a hundred years. While the storm is expected to cause damage on the Gulf Coast, early estimates suggest the resulting insurance losses might be modest. This situation affects the dynamics of insurance and reinsurance stocks.
Low pressure formed off the eastern Mexico coast, and forecasters are monitoring cyclone formation offshore Mexico, noting warm El Niño waters may lead to an above-normal tropical season.
