Weather forecasters continue to monitor Tropical Storm Isaac which is expected to strengthen into a hurricane later this week as it moves on a projected path that could take it close to Jamaica.

The storm has top winds of  40 miles per hour and is forecast to become a hurricane by tomorrow as it approaches Puerto Rico. 

Computer forecast models show the storm moving as a hurricane across parts of  Puerto Rico and then the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica and a large section of  Cuba. 

The centre of  Isaac, the ninth named storm of  the Atlantic-Caribbean hurricane season, is expected to move through the central Lesser Antilles this evening. 

Tropical storm warnings have been issued for Martinique, Dominica, Guadeloupe, Antigua and parts of  Curacao. 

A tropical storm watch is also in effect for the British Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
