A tropical cyclone brewing in the Atlantic is likely to become Tropical Storm Isaias this week and it would affect Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands
A weather system swirling in the central Atlantic will likely become the season's next tropical storm, forecasters said Tuesday, with the National Hurricane Center giving the system a 90% chance of development within the next two days.
On the forecast track, the system is expected to move through the Leeward Islands on Wednesday, near or over the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico on Wednesday night and near or over Hispaniola on Thursday, the hurricane center said. Tropical storm warnings were also in place for several other Caribbean islands, including Antigua, Barbuda, Guadeloupe, Martinique and Montserrat
It’s too early to say how the system could affect the U.S., said Weather Underground co-founder Jeff Masters, who writes for Yale Climate Connections. He added, though, that"it’s definitely something Florida should be keeping an eye on."
