The National Hurricane Center has claimed that Hurricane Isaias has formed over the Caribbean Sea and could possibly head towards the Florida coast. The storm is sustaining 60 mph hour as of 8:00AM and is roughly 100 miles west-southwest of Ponce, Puerto Rico.
According to the NHC, the forecast cone shifted east last night and is showing that the hurricane may pass the east side of Florida and toward the Carolinas this weekend.
