Tropical Storm Isaac has formed in the Atlantic and could possibly turn into a hurricane within the next day or two. Air Force Reserve Reconnaissance aircraft this morning will continue its fly through Isaac gathering data. Current wind speed within the storm is 45 mph with a central pressure of 1004mb. Earlier this morning, the reconnaissance flight didn't find too much of a drop in pressure as the storm moves west around 19 mph. High pressure in the Atlantic will continue to steer Isaac to the west. An intensification is anticipated within the next 24 to 48 hours but then it may decrease in intensity when it reaches Cuba as it runs into land. Right now the current storm track takes Isaac through Puerto Rico, Cuba and possibly near southeast Florida by early next week. Where exactly Isaac makes landfall, if it does in fact affect the U.S., may have an impact on our weather by the middle of next week.
