Story summary
  • The U.S. National Hurricane Center used Google DeepMind AI to forecast Hurricane Isaias as a Category 2 storm.
  • DeepMind outperformed physics models in track forecasts 12–96 hours out, beating official NHC guidance.
  • For intensity, DeepMind exceeded NHC forecasts between 36–60 hours and matched them at other times.
  • A consensus of most models predicts Isaias will make landfall as a hurricane on the northeastern Gulf Coast.
