Tropical Storm Isaias is the 9th named storms in the Atlantic basin this year. That’s the earliest date to record 9 named Atlantic storms by a long shot.

Isaias is lashing Puerto Rico with wind and rain squalls today.

The storm is large. Isaias is getting better organized as it moves northwest across Puerto Rico toward the Bahamas. 

The latest official NHC track cone steers Isaias through the Bahamas toward Florida’s east coast this weekend.

Isaias is currently forecast to be a high-end tropical storm with 70 mph sustained winds as it likely strafes the southeast U.S. coast this weekend. But hurricane intensity forecasts are highly variable. And with Isaias over the warm water of the Gulf Stream, greater intensification is a possibility.
