DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 800 AM AST (1200 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Isaac was
located near latitude 14.4 North, longitude 54.1 West. Isaac is
moving toward the west near 15 mph (24 km/h), and this general
motion is expected to continue through the weekend. On the forecast
track, Isaac's center is forecast to move across the central Lesser
Antilles and into the eastern Caribbean Sea on Thursday, and into
the central Caribbean Sea on Saturday.

Maximum sustained winds remain near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher
gusts. Gradual weakening is forecast during the next few days. A
NOAA hurricane hunter aircraft will soon fly through the center of
Isaac, and will provide a better assessment of the intensity of the
tropical storm and the extent of its winds.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles (165 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1000 mb (29.53 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL:  Isaac is expected to produce total rainfall accumulations
of 2 to 4 inches with isolated amounts up to 8 inches across
Martinique, Dominica, and Guadeloupe, with up to one inch
anticipated across the remaining Windward and Leeward Islands.

WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected on Martinique,
Dominica, and Guadeloupe by tonight or early Thursday.  Tropical
storm conditions are possible within the tropical storm watch area
on Thursday.

STORM SURGE:  Some coastal flooding is possible in areas of onshore
winds.  Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large
waves.

SURF:  Swells generated by Isaac will begin to affect portions
of the Lesser Antilles this afternoon.  These swells are likely to
cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please
consult products from your local weather office.
