Radar, model runs and Isaias's track, streamed live from Atlanta's 11Alive

A Gulf hurricane is hundreds of miles from the city, and the station's weather desk has its viewers watching it all the same.

LIVE: Tracking Hurricane Isaias | RADAR + LOCATION

Why would an Atlanta station keep a live hurricane radar running when the storm is still out over the Gulf? 11Alive's own uploads give the answer. The weather team is breaking down "timing and impacts" day by day as Isaias moves in, and in a separate clip it expects the storm to reach Category 3 strength over open water.

The centerpiece is "LIVE: Tracking Hurricane Isaias | RADAR + LOCATION," a stream that does what its description promises: the latest forecast track, the radar and the model runs, with nothing else around them. Thirteen hours after it went up, it had passed 30,000 views. A typical 11Alive upload ends its first day with well under 4,000.

That gap stands out on a channel whose daily menu is mostly local headlines. The same morning brought short reports on a DeKalb County Jail case and an Athens sentencing, and each of those has so far reached only a handful of viewers. The two shorter Isaias clips are still early too. For now, the people watching the storm from Georgia are gathered in one place: the live map.

Georgia knows how a Gulf storm can stay strong far from the coast, which may be why an inland newsroom gives this one so much room.
