Having more lovely weather this morning & there's more good news from the NHC: "The remnants of Isaac, located south of Cuba, have weakened to a surface trough. Showers associated with the disturbance are mainly east of the trough axis, from 16N-21N between 74W-81W. Environmental conditions are not conducive for re-development to occur. Gentle trades are west of the trough axis, while gentle to moderate trades are over the rest of the central and eastern Caribbean."
