... On the forecast track, the system is expected to move through the Leeward Islands on Wednesday, near or over the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico on Wednesday night and near or over Hispaniola on Thursday, the hurricane center said.
Not again!
... Although it could affect Florida later in the week, its track and intensity forecast remain highly uncertain: "It cannot be stressed enough that since the system is still in the formative stage, greater than average uncertainty exists regarding both the short-term and longer-term track and intensity forecasts," the hurricane center said....
If it gets a name, it would become Tropical Storm Isaias, the ninth named storm of the season. The current record for earliest 'I' named storm in the Atlantic basin is Irene on Aug. 7, 2005, according to Colorado State University meteorologist Phil Klotzbach.
It has been an early and active start to the 2020 Atlantic basin tropical season, so much so that five of the first eight named storms this season are new record holders for the earliest-named storm for their letter, AccuWeather said.
Gonzalo and Hanna became the earliest G- and H-named storms on record in the Atlantic basin when they reached tropical storm strength last week. Hanna ultimately became a hurricane, the first in the Atlantic basin this season, and made landfall in Southern Texas on Saturday evening, AccuWeather said.
I hope Puerto Rico is skirted......don't think I can stand to see trump throw a few rolls of paper towels, insult the mayor of San Juan with juvenile nonsense, and tell the governor and his staff how "not so bad" it all is.

Puerto Rico, British and U.S. Virgin Islands: lashed but no direct hit.
Dominican Republic and northern Haiti: direct hit later today.
Looking a little better for FL.
SC, NC and DC/MD could be hit.
Not predicted to go above TS, but it seems that we've seen many grow beyond predictions like Hanna did just last week.
Looks like it will be a Cat 1 again when it makes landfall near the NC/SC border. If I lived in eastern NC and was mobile, I would seriously consider moving. Fortunately, it doesn't look like it will linger the way other storms have.

Hurricane alley because of the Gulf Stream. People who live there accept the risk.

Seems to me that it's been much worse than usual for ENC and with flooding further inland these past 5 years or so, but maybe not. Whatever, landfall this evening, VA by morning, then still a TS all the way through ME.

The GS feeds them, but I don't think it steers, that's more due to other weather systems.
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”
The Canadian Hurricane Center has a lot of archive info but it's difficult to use to answer how far north. I found 2 that track out the northern tip of Maine, but can't make-out the legend - they could be Depressions.
Same for Google. You can't look up TSs records for the furthest north. All you get is Faith.

Add in that it may be my flub in what I heard. That's a problem with TV - nothing to quote verbatim.
