Tropical Storm Isaac has been downgraded to a tropical depression, but it is still bringing lingering rain to parts of the Caribbean.
According to the latest update from the National Hurricane Center, Isaac is currently about 190 miles south-southwest of St. Croix, and 380 miles southeast of Santo Domingo. The tropical depression is expected to continue moving west over the next few days over the eastern and central Caribbean Sea. Maximum sustained winds have decreased to 35 mph, with higher gusts, and the storm is expected to weaken further over the next few days.
Isaac is still expected to produce between two and three inches of additional rainfall, up to five inches across the northern Windward Islands and into the Leeward Islands and Puerto Rico. Totals of 1 to 2 inches with maximum amounts of 3 inches are possible across the remainder of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Dominican Republic and Haiti. This rainfall may cause life-threatening flash flooding, the National Hurricane Center warned.
