Re: Area of Interest - Tropical Storm Isaac

I'll make an attempt at analyzing Isaac from what we do know - but right now thats a limited analysis. At 24/03Z TS Isaac was south of the Dominican Republic and probably centered at a latitude lower than 16N. Multiple vortices rotating within a broad area of low pressure have limited the ability of the storm to organize, however, there are signs once again that enhanced convective development is underway. Outflow has improved considerably in the southwest quadrant, and Isaac has slowed down considerably in the last couple of hours. Usually when a storm slows down it means that its going to turn or intensify, or both. As Mike stated elsewhere, we should have some better insight into what Isaac really is and where it is heading by daybreak. For now, its wait and see mode - a time for patience.
