While Hurricane Florence is expected to impact the US later this week (More on Florence---->

Tropical Storm Isaac is forecast to become a hurricane later today or tonight. Sustained tropical-storm-force winds ranging from 39 mph to 73 mph are possible across portions of the Lesser Antilles later this week and would most likely begin Wednesday night.

Some weakening is expected after tracking through the Lesser Antilles ; however, don't let that keep your guard down as there is still a ways to go with Isaac over warm and ripe sea surface temperatures and strengthening again is still possible. Everyone along the Gulf Coast of the U.S. must keep a watchful eye on Isaac over the next several days.
