Hurricane Isaac Still In Atlantic

Isaac had strengthened since becoming a named storm on Thursday. Its maximum sustained winds increased from 39 mph to 120 mph, then dropped back to 115 mph on Sunday.

Satellite photographs Sunday showed its once well-defined eye had become slightly less organized, said Richard Pasch, a hurricane specialist at the National Hurricane Center in Miami.

Sunday evening, Isaac was 1,525 miles east of the Leeward Islands, at the eastern edge of the Caribbean, and was moving west-northwest at 12 mph.

``We are not saying it will never be a threat to land, but it will be at least several days before that's possible,'' Pasch said.
