Map locates Tropical Storm Isaac and its projected path for the next five days

This NOAA satellite image taken Thursday, Aug. 23, 2012 at 1:45 a.m. EDT shows Tropical Storm Isaac spinning over the eastern Caribbean Sea. The system is now about 265 miles southeast of San Juan, Puerto Rico with maximum winds up to 45 mph. A Hurricane Warning is in effect for Haiti and the Dominican Republic and a Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for most of the Caribbean Islands. The forecast storm track takes Isaac over Hispaniola and Cuba through the weekend. To the north, a frontal boundary lingers over the Southeast and Gulf of Mexico and produces more heavy rains and strong thunderstorms. In the Plains, a trough of low pressure pushes a front through the Upper Midwest and kicks up some widespread thunderstorm activity. A few of these storms may turn severe with strong winds and large hail. (AP PHOTO/WEATHER UNDERGROUND)

(AP) ? Tropical Storm Joyce has formed over the open water of the eastern Atlantic and does not pose an immediate threat to land.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Thursday the storm has maximum sustained winds of 40 miles per hour (65 kph). There is little change in strength expected in the next 48 hours.

Joyce formed as Tropical Storm Isaac bored down on Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands on a track that could take it to Florida early next week as the U.S. Republican National Convention meets in Tampa.

Forecasters said Joyce is on a projected five-day track that could keep the storm out at sea east of the U.S. coast...
