This hurricane season certainly has lived up to expectations thus far. This morning the National Hurricane Center upgraded the latest tropical depression to Tropical Storm Lisa, making it the 12th named storm of the year.

As of the 11AM EST Advisory, the National Hurricane center located the center of Lisa at 18.1°N 31.7°W. It was moving at 5 Miles per hour in a northerly direction. Current maximum sustained winds are at 45 miles per hour, and the minimum central pressure is 1001 millibars.

Computer models are all over the place in the early going. Some models take Tropical Storm Lisa almost due north and out to sea, while others curve it in a more westerly direction after a brief move to the north. The NHC has an official projected path of Lisa that will slowly move it North, then NW, and finally west by this weekend. No major strengthening is expected over the next several days. Any landfall of Lisa will not be until late next week at the earliest
