Hurricane Florence and Tropical Storm Isaac head straight for key routes in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean, thus disrupting cruise industry.
Isaac is projected by NOAA to be at/near hurricane intensity by the time the storm reaches Lesser Antilles in Eastern Caribbean on Thursday, September 13. Swells up to 18 ft are expected on Wednesday night, September 12, in the seas located west of Antigua and Barbuda. The Bahamas are projected to be safe.
Isolated thunderstorms and scattered showers are expected today for voyages rerouting to Yucatan Basin and Western Caribbean.
