The Tropical Weather Outlook

 At 8 am CDT, TS Isaac was located near 27.5N,  88.2W, moving NW at 12 mph. Maximum sustained winds were 70 mph. Minimum central pressure was 977mb. It was about 105 SSE of the mouth of the Mississippi river mouth. On the present forecast track...the center will be near or over the Louisana coast tonight or early Wednesday. Isaac is nearing hurricane strength force.

Else where, 97L is in the far Atlantic and has a 30% chance of becoming a TS. It should not be a threat to us. The tropical wave which came off Africa yesterday has a 10% chance of reaching TS strength in the next 48 hours. Interests in the Bay Islands and on the north coast of Honduras should monitor this system as it continues to develop and moves west.
