Tropical Storm Isaac threatens to dampen the Republican National Convention Monday in Tampa, Florida. National media outlets are having a grand time anticipating a Grand Old Party washout. Tampa mayor Bob Buckhorn (D) announced Wednesday that he is absolutely prepared to call off the convention next week, with anticipated attendance of 70,000 delegates, party officials, journalists, protesters and others. Buckhorn has not indicated that he would attempt to mitigate liberal protests or a hastily planned Joe "Plugs" Biden visit to Tampa during the convention.
Time will tell. Stay tuned...

I don’t listen to the weather channel! I listen to NautiNurse!!
The entire northwest and western side is sucking dry air from Louisiana and Texas. I think it is too much for Isaac to overcome (not that I am complaining). If it weren’t so slow moving, this could be a non-event. I suspect it has not been upgraded due to this dry air and the havoc it has created for organization. Now that it is organizing a bit, perhaps they will upgrade it. This is odd as they have been quick to upgrade everything for years to raise the storm count in support of Global Warming.
YOu may be right. With the pressures it is showing, if it gets the eye completely closed off and expels the dry air we could see it go from TS to CAT II quite quickly.
Hopefully that won’t happen, but right now we have a struggling 70 MPH system (according to NHC) with pressure readouts that support a 95-100 MPH storm.
