Hurricane warnings have been discontinued for the Central and Southeast Bahamas, however, a hurricane warning remains in effect for the Northwest islands. This includes Andros, New Providence, Eleuthera, Abaco, Grand Bahama, Bimini and The Berry Islands.
Hurricane Isaias has slowed slightly and continues to move toward the northwest at about 12 miles per hour. On the forecast track, the center of the storm will move through the vicinity of Fresh Creek, Andros this morning and continue to move near or over the rest of
Northwestern Bahamas later today
Maximum sustained winds are near 85 miles per hour with higher gusts and hurricane-force winds extending outward up to the 35 miles.

Any visitors with upcoming travel plans are advised to check directly with airlines and hotels regarding possible impacts on travel.
Bahami su arhipelag sa više od 700 ostrva i zaliva, prostire se na 100,000 kvadratnih milja; moglo bi biti upozorenje na tropsku oluju ili uragan za dijelove zemlje dok ostali dijelovi ostaju nepromijenjeni.
The Ministry continues to monitor this weather pattern and will provide updates at www.bahamas.com. For further information visit www.nhc.noaa.gov.
