Isaac gaining strength as it moves toward Haiti

Tropical Storm Isaac is gaining some strength as it moves toward Haiti, Cuba, and eventually the United States.

Isaac is moving west at about 13 miles per hour, and is expected to move over Haiti as a tropical storm by Saturday, and reach Cuba by Sunday.

On Monday, Isaac, still a tropical storm, should make landfall over the Florida Keys, before continuing on to the Gulf of Mexico. Once in the warm waters of the Gulf, Isaac is expected to increase in intensity to a category 1 hurricane before making landfall somewhere between Mississippi and the Florida Panhandle.

The 22News Storm Team will continue to track the path of Isaac. You can take a look at the latest track yourself with our Tropical Tracker tool .
