Tropical Storm Isaac forms in Atlantic, could become hurricane
Tropical Storm Isaac formed in the Atlantic Ocean and churned toward the Caribbean Sea on Tuesday afternoon, and it could become a  Category 1 hurricane by Thursday, forecasters at the National Hurricane Center said.
Late Tuesday afternoon, Isaac was 500 miles east of Guadeloupe in the Leeward Islands and moving west at 17 mph. Maximum sustained winds were 40 mph, just beyond the threshold for a tropical storm. It would become a hurricane if winds reach 74 mph.
Tropical storm watches and warnings cover much of the Leeward Islands as well as Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
Conditions are favorable for strengthening as the storm enters the northern Caribbean Sea, forecasters said.
It could become a Category 2 hurricane, with maximum sustained winds above 95 mph, as it approaches Cuba on Saturday.
Forecasters caution that the forecast track is uncertain and the storm could be anywhere from the Bahamas to the north and the Cayman Islands to the south on Saturday.
It is still too early to tell what, if any, effects the storm will have on the U.S. mainland, but there are several computer models that bring the storm into the Gulf of Mexico, while others move the storm further east.
With roughly 50,000 people headed for Tampa, Florida, for the Republican National Convention August 27-30, there is heightened interest in the future path of the storm.

Lol....
Silly movie.
Gotta love Roger Corman...
@Banasy, CLOSE! It was Ed Wood! But they were very similar.
Duh, banasy!
They *did* have similar schticks, didn't they?
Many people think this is THE worst movie ever made. I've seen it, and believe you me, there are MANY that are far worse. In fact it's kind of fun-in a campy cultish sort of way.
your disgusting.....be careful his kin may come for you.........
Banasy is the best. Never disgusting.
Okaaaaaaaaayyyyy......
Well, thanks, Bonita!
I will be really interested to hear what Michele Bachmann has to say about it if Hurricane Isaac ends up right over Tampa during the Republican convention.
I don't care what Bachman thinks, but I'll have a kid down there that I love, and I don't want anything happening to her...
I also hope your child will be OK. I am referring to her remarks against the Democrats when an earthquake and hurricaine hit Washington DC last year.
Just as long as Mitt Romney's cash remains safe in the Cayman Islands, it's not a problem.
I know what the Democrats would say...it was God's way of saying "yes" to Obama, God hates Republicans, blah blah blah. There is a reason why the icon for Democrats is a seven letter word for donkey.
How fast can Congress pass a tax break for raincoats and galoshes?
Well it went from a tropical depression to being a named storm...uh oh.
@banasy, that kid that is so loved will be leaving on Saturday for New Orleans and then Monday for Tampa. She's shopping my closet for anything red. There is no need for red retail therapy after that book bill. Fortunately she will be in a place that is higher elevation and not in a Zone 1 flood zone. Thankfully there is family in both cities.
Blame Bush for the hurricane.....and everything else. 🙂
Well............this could be a problem for my cruise trip this Sat. Gotta love mother nature (serious).
How the HECK does a hurricane become a partisan issue? Grow up!
Well this ought to tell the R's something! Pretty sure if this hurricane hits Tampa it means God hates Republicans.
*snerk snerk* heh heh heh
This is God showing displeasure with the GOP
I hope that the Hurricane Isaac hits the Republic Convention to knock some sense into the people that sold principles for money.Ron Paul could have done what the country needs. Romney is going to waste people's money and Obama will get reelected to continue the same policies of serving the richest 1%.
God help us
its the end of the world,,,,weve never had hurricanes anywhere before now,,,,what a bunch of fear-mongers...you floridians get ready for your homeowners insurance to skyrocket again,,and by the way you CANT buy homeowners ins, right before a hurricane is going to hit you,,but dont worry obama will make everything right,,,its not your fault you never have insurance
Unquestionably believe that that you stated. Your favourite reason seemed to be at the internet the easiest factor to understand of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed at the same time as other folks consider issues that they just do not understand about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and outlined out the entire thing with no need side effect , people can take a signal. Will likely be again to get more. Thanks
