Tropical Storm Isaias is a currently active tropical cyclone threatening landfall in the Dominican Republic. The ninth Tropical storm of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, Isaias originated from a tropical wave off the coast of Africa that was first tracked by the National Hurricane Center on July 23, 2020. The tropical wave gradually became more organized, and intensified into Tropical Storm Isaias on July 30. This marked the earliest ninth named storm on record, surpassing 2005's Hurricane Irene by six days.
Numerous Tropical Storm Watches and warnings were issued for the Lesser Antilles, Greater Antilles, the Bahamas, Cuba, and Florida.
Meteorological history
The National Hurricane Center first began tracking a vigorous tropical wave off the coast of Africa on July 23. The wave gradually organized and became better defined, developing a broad area of low pressure. Though the circulation was broad and disorganized, convection continued to increase over the system. Although the system still lacked a well-defined center, its threat of tropical-storm-force winds to land areas prompted its designation as a potential tropical cyclone at 15:00 UTC on July 28. The system moved just south of Dominica on July 29, and at 03:00 UTC on the following day, it organized sufficiently to become a tropical cyclone. Due to its precursor disturbance already having gale-force winds, it was immediately declared a tropical storm and given the name Isaias. When Tropical Storm Isaias formed, it became the earliest ninth named storm on record, shattering the record of Hurricane Irene (2005) by 6 days.
