Tropical Storm Isaias Update

From the Village of Palmetto Bay:

July 30, 2020

TROPICAL STORM ISAIAS UPDATE: The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical Storm Isaias, located over the northeastern Caribbean Sea. Heavy rains associated with Isaias may begin to affect South Florida Saturday morning. This rain could result in isolated flash and urban flooding, especially in low-lying and poorly drained areas.

Elsewhere over the Atlantic basin on this Thursday afternoon, a small area of low pressure is located over the far eastern Atlantic Ocean a few hundred miles south-southeast of the Cabo Verde Islands. The associated showers and thunderstorms associated have increased and become better organized during the day. Environmental conditions appear conducive for further development, and this system could become a tropical depression during the next day or so while it drifts generally north-northwestward. It has a medium (50 percent) chance of formation during the next 48 hours. After that time, environmental conditions are forecast to become less favorable for development. www.hurricanes.gov#TeamPB #PBalwaysworkingforyou #BeHurricaneReady #BePrepared #StayInformed
