TROPICAL STORM WATCH northern Leeward Islands. Depression #13 should become Tropical Storm Laura over the next 24 hours. Here is projected National Hurricane Center track at this time.

VERY BUSY hurricane season ahead!
Colorado State University UPDATED their tropical prediction Wednesday to an even more active and potentially dangerous season.

We just had Isaias, the soonest we've reached the letter I.

The update calls for a total of 24 named storms (average any given year in the Atlantic is 12). More worrisome, the update calls for 5 major hurricanes in the Atlantic (Category 3 or higher). We haven't had a major hurricane yet this season.

NOTE the Atlantic hurricane season typically peaks September 10th. The next names are Josephine, Kyle and Laura.

A VERY ACTIVE 9:30am radar showing TS Isaias heavy rain eastern PA/MD and multiple Tornado Warnings (purple boxes) and Flash Flood Warnings (yellow boxes). Isaias should race through the Hudson Valley late day/evening.

TROPICAL STORM ISAIAS 4:30PM showing ragged eye/center southeast of Charleston continues a northward movement, center headed for landfall near Myrtle Beach this evening.
