You'll Have To Make New Weekend Plans As These Florida Beaches Are Closing

You'll have to postpone those beach plans as Hurricane Isaias has closed Miami-Dade Beaches.

Mayor Carlos Gimenez has announced all beaches within the county will close on Friday night as the tropical storm is now posing a threat to South Florida.

The storm grew rapidly during the day Thursday, blossoming from just a wave into a hurricane by the afternoon.

In addition to the beaches, Miami-Dade County is also shutting down COVID-19 testing sites at the close of business today.

Hurricane Isaias is forecast to pass by South Florida as a Category 1 hurricane.
