Adjusted Isaac Track West of Florida

August 25, 2012; 6:21 AM

A couple of comments...

1. Gone with the west of Florida track. Probably waited too long to make that change, but wanted to make sure that would be the correct move instead of waffling with every run of the models.

2. Key point, Isaac will become a Category 2 hurricane once it clears the north coast of Cuba. Miami Beach and the Keys will have hurricane-force gusts with tropical storm-force gusts north of Miami through Fort Lauderdale.

3. Isaac will hit the Panhandle of Florida as a Category 2 hurricane on Tuesday night or early on Wednesday morning. That means a lot of damage for the parts of the panhandle.

4. Flooding will become the big issue once Isaac moves into the Southeast. The western Carolinas are wet, so that is one area to watch for flooding.
