MIAMI (AP) Forecasters say Tropical Storm Isaac has formed in the Atlantic with a track that could possibly take it toward Florida where the Republican National Convention will be held next week. <\/p>\n
Storm warnings have been issued Tuesday across a swath of islands in the Caribbean including Martinique, Guadeloupe and St. Martin. <\/p>\n

The National Hurricane Center says Isaac has maximum sustained winds near 40 (64 kph) but is expected to strengthen. <\/p>\n
The storm is about 500 miles (804 kilometers) east of Guadeloupe and is moving west near 17 mph (28 kph). <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
