- A tropical wave in the Central Atlantic has a very high chance of becoming a tropical depression or tropical storm in the next five days.
- Many forecast models show that it will become more developed as it gets closer to the Lesser Antilles.
- It’s too early to know if this will impact the Gulf Coast or the Continental U.S. However, it bears watching if it is able to hold together in the Caribbean or if it gets near the Bahamas.
- If it is named, it will be called Isaias.
