moving slowly northwest at 10, looks like it will come very close to new orleans, certainly along the louisiana/mississippi coast there late tomorrow night, early wednesday. most likely as a category 1 storm perhaps with winds up to 90 miles an hour, but they think it could continue to strengthen all the way right before it makes that landfall and then becomes a tropical storm. so again a big story is going to be the hurricane warnings that are up for the potential of a storm surge that could be 6 to 12 feet above sea level. that's for not only louisiana, but the mississippi coastline and a little bit of the florida panhandle. the hurricane warnings continue to nye there. that has not change -- fly there. that has not changed. the track has not changed and the big story will be not

we've been focused on isaac for a while here, especially the hit there along the gulf coast. any new information? >> i would think the good news tonight is it has not become a hurricane yet, but unfortunately it's still expected to strengthen a little more before making landfall. it will get bad tomorrow, probably ashore by tomorrow night. so that's the very latest thinking. we'll show you the satellite imagery as well. we're glad it's not a katrina size storm. katrina was a category 3 when it came ashore. this 1 will probably be a 1, but it's so big it will still pack a punch, although they've spent a lot of money getting those levees straight bd out. hopefully new orleans will get -- straightened out. hopefully new orleans will get through this just fine. here's the latest imagery. we thought it was trying to get a little center going tonight and indicate it was stronger, but the hurricane currents are in there and say it has not gotten stronger, still winds 70 miles per hour. now how it's not symmetrical. there's a lot of dry air to the north of it which is preventing it from getting a little stronger but still forecast to be a hurricane by morning and coming into new orleans tomorrow night as a hurricane as well. it's got huge circulation, tropical storm force winds going out about 205 miles from the center. that's why we saw east florida getting so much rain today. we can expect there will be a lot of rain for new orleans, mississippi and alabama in the yellow area here on the order of 6 to 12 inches or more in the next several days. that very heavy rain will go all the way up the mississippi river valley. they're kind of glad because you all know how low the mississippi is, but here is our storm circulating. look what the this outer band did here, producing all -- what this outer band did here, producing all the heavy rain. the heavier rains will hit new orleans later tonight and foam and some of the bands are as far -- top and some of the bands are as far -- tomorrow and some of the bands are as far north as north carolina. it will slide through the first half of tomorrow, so maybe we'll get back to less humid air. it's real humid now and 79 degrees. it's going to be mild overnight, a camisias around especially closer to sunrise -- a couple showers around especially closer to sunrise. hopefully things are shut off by recess because teachers tell me kids really need recess by the second day of school. morning showers but a drier afternoon. the west to northwest wind will start to bring down the humidity a bit. so that will be nice. temperatures tomorrow close to 90. we'll really feel that, again a shower maybe in the morning, 87 degrees for actually gaithersburg as well as dulles and manassas. so a little steamy in the morning and then that humidity drops going through the afternoon. you can see it's not much in the way of showers, probably pretty light stuff, no repeat of sunday. again we watch our tropical system which will probably be hurricane isaac by tomorrow morning making landfall and spreading very heavy rain through the southeast, still too early to tell whether or not it will affect us, but if it did, it might be late next weekend just to give you some idea. otherwise we're looking at a great stretch of days, a little warm, especially into friday 91 degrees, sun and clouds the first part of our
