For our friends in Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba, Florida and the rest of the South Eastern USA...we have been tracking Tropical Storm Isaac for you.
Please also check weather.com, specifically their Map Room, which tells you where Isaac currently is and its projected path.

Isaac has maximum sustained winds of 65 mph. Tropical storm force winds extend 200 miles from its center.
Isaac will hit Haiti tonight and the island of Cuba tomorrow evening.
It is heading towards the Florida straits.
In relation to Jamaica: Tropical storm Isaac is South East of Jamaica.
The Southern and North Eastern parishes will get showers and thunderstorms.
Rainfall of 12 inches high is expected over the next 48 hours, resulting in landslides.
Threat of a Tropical Storm Isaac developing into a hurricane, is very likely as Isaac's eye or core struggles to take form.
