The island of Bermuda is on high alert right now as Leslie has been upgraded to a hurricane and further strengthening is expected before a likely brush by the small island. Leslie has winds of 75 MPH, a category one. More strengthening is expected and Leslie should become a category two hurricane by Friday then potentially reach major hurricane status by the weekend as it is currently forecast to pass dangerously close to Bermuda. Hurricane force winds is a strong possibility in Bermuda along with a potentially dangerous storm surge--in other words, preparations should be made soon because impact could be as early as Saturday.

A tropical disturbance partially associated with the remnants of Isaac has emerged southward into the Gulf Of Mexico and is decently organizing. A TD/TS is possible from this one before most models loop it around across the Florida Peninsula by late weekend. It has a 40% chance of TC formation by Friday afternoon, according to the NHC. Florida Peninsula should watch it regardless for a soaking that may impact the weekend.
