Isaac Update

Little has changed with the path of Isaac. The minor change that is noted is Isaac will travel along the north coast of Cuba, instead of a direct hit longways onto the island. Once Isaac clears Cuba, its sights will be set on the Florida Keys. Isaac will reach Hurricane strength once it clears Cuba. Isaac will track over the keys and then off the west coast of Florida as it moves up towards the panhandle of Florida where it will once again make landfall. The real question will be, is how much strength can Isaac gain once it clears the keys. As noted in the second graph, temperatures are warm. In some places temperatures are greater than 85 degrees which may aid in strengthening.  Oh, and Joyce has completely fizzled out, and the NHC has only placed a 10% chance of redevelopment. I am still watching the other wave that was off the African coast two days ago, that has been upgraded to a 30% chance of strengthening.
