00:00Tropical Depression 9 is expected to become Hurricane Isaias by the weekend.
00:04It will end two long Atlantic hurricane droughts, one lasting more than 340 days.

00:17Isaias could put 30 million people at risk, from heavy rain, flooding, and tropical storm impacts.
00:23Forecast models show the storm tracking toward the U.S. east coast, but exact landfall locations remain uncertain.
