Google DeepMind’s AI model called Hurricane Isaias’s Florida Panhandle landfall while physics-based models pointed toward Louisiana

Hurricane Isaias hit Destin, Florida, as a Category 2 storm on October 9. Google DeepMind’s AI model, which the National Hurricane Center has used in its official forecasts since 2025, pointed to the western Florida Panhandle from the start, while conventional models first sent the storm toward southeastern Louisiana. A preliminary HurriLab analysis found it timed landfall within a few hours, three days out.
