Tropical Storm Isaac Tracking Towards Gulf of Mexico


 A disorganized Tropical Storm Isaac is centered near Eastern Cuba this evening. Convection in the region covers portions of Hispanola, Cuba and the Florida Keys, as seen in this infrared satellite image. Link: http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/carb/avn-l.jpg





Isaac is forecast to approach the Florida Keys as it tracks northwest at tropical storm strength. Once in the Gulf of Mexico, Isaac may strengthen into a hurricane. Stay tuned to this blog for climatological storm surge insights provided from similar past storms. Link: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?5-daynl?large#contents
