Late Breaking: Isaias becomes a minimal hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 75 MPH.
The eye is now clearly depicted via the Wilmington, NC NEXRAD radar:
The two red boxes west of Wilmington are two tornado warnings. In “velocity mode,” you can clearly see the mini-rotating “couplets” coming ashore. Small tornadoes are always possible in the hurricane bands.
