Subject: 1700 ISAAC UPDATE
THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM ISAAC WAS LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 17.2 NORTH LONGITUDE 71.9 WEST. ISAAC IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHWEST NEAR 16 MPH AND THIS MOTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. ON THE FORECAST TRACK THE CENTER OF ISAAC SHOULD MAKE LANDFALL IN HAITI THIS EVENING MOVE NEAR OR OVER SOUTHEASTERN CUBA ON SATURDAY MOVE NEAR OR OVER CENTRAL CUBA SATURDAY NIGHT AND APPROACH THE FLORIDA KEYS ON SUNDAY. REPORTS FROM AN AIR FORCE RESERVE HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT INDICATE THAT MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE INCREASED TO NEAR 65 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS. LITTLE CHANGE IN STRENGTH IS LIKELY BEFORE LANDFALL FOLLOWED BY SOME WEAKENING AS THE CENTER CROSSES HAITI AND SOUTHEASTERN CUBA. TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 185 MILES FROM THE CENTER. THE MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE REPORTED BY THE HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT IS 994 MB. I HAVE THE RANGE MARKS SET AT 100 STATUTE MILES PER MARK ON THE HURREVAC MODEL.
