Tropical Storm Isaac continues to under-perform expectations for development into a Hurricane, but remains a great worry for folks along the northern Gulf of Mexico. The featured map is a composite of National Hurricane Center position and max wind forecasts for the past week. The thicker line with a white outline is the actual observation of wind speed and position. Isaac has yet to reach Hurricane strength of 75mph winds, but is a large system that is expected to dump very heavy rainfall. Our weather will stagnate while this system clears out to the east later this week.
