DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK

----------------------

At 800 PM EDT (0000 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Isaias was

located by an Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft near latitude 25.3

North, longitude 78.9 West. Isaias is moving toward the northwest

near 9 mph (15 km/h). A general northwestward motion with some

decrease in forward speed is expected for the next day or so,

followed by a north-northwestward motion by late Sunday. A turn

toward the north and north-northeast is anticipated on Monday and

Tuesday with an increase in forward speed. On the forecast track,

the center of Isaias will approach the southeast coast of Florida

tonight and move near or along the east coast of Florida Sunday and

Sunday night. On Monday and Tuesday, the center of Isaias will move

from offshore of the coast of Georgia into the southern mid-Atlantic

states.

Maximum sustained winds are near 70 mph (110 km/h) with higher

gusts. Some restrengthening is forecast, and Isaias is expected to

regain hurricane strength later tonight and early Sunday. Slow

weakening is expected to begin Sunday night and continue through

Monday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles (165 km)

from the center. Settlement Point, Grand Bahama Island, recently

reported a wind gust of 41 mph (66 km/h). An unofficial observing

station in Ft. Lauderdale Beach recently reported a wind gust of 39

mph (63 km/h).

The estimated minimum central pressure based on Hurricane Hunter

aircraft data is 993 mb (29.32 inches).
