Isaias continues to have Florida in its sights after it battered Puerto Rico with high winds and heavy rains Thursday.

While PTC Nine is producing the distraction, this non-identified disturbance looks very much like a tropical storm. Scatterometers and stormsScatterometer satellites send out microwave radiation that measures just how ocean waves are reflecting and scattering those microwaves. Wind is what is making higher waves out there and if higher waves are measured, then by calculation there are higher winds. Thus, a somewhat strong, circulating LOW can be detected amid those bunch of clouds and an upgrade to an area of interest of even a tropical depression or storm can be determined. It's easy to see large gaps of data on this exampleI suspect we will catch this new one soon enough.
