Tropical Storm Isaac: Impact on the Stateline?

The latest news on Tropical Storm Isaac isn't good. The storm is gaining steam and could be a hurricane in the next 24 hours. Winds are currently around 70mph.

Model runs still show a lot of uncertainty with the movement of this storm, but the general consensus is that the Mississippi and Louisiana coasts (including New Orleans) will see the best chance for landfall.

The official forecast has Isaac hitting New Orleans and then moving north over the coming days, which asks an important question: Will Isaac play a role in our forecast?

Once again, model runs are all over the place with the exact path of Isaac. One model has Isaac making a BIG left turn, with the remnants of the storm ending up in Iowa. If that's the case (although probably not), we will definitely see some rain. Most of the other models has the remnants of Isaac staying to our south. That could give us some rain chances overnight Friday into Saturday, but at this point, a lot could change. We'll keep you updated as we go through the week.
