Now that Hurricane Fabian has left the news, with only the residents of Bermuda left to pick up the pieces, all eyes are again on the Atlantic as the latest member of the 2003 Atlantic Hurricane cast makes an appearance. Current forecasts suggest that Isabel could potentially be a very dangerous feature, with wind speeds in excess of 120mph for sustained periods. As ever, the extract forecast track for this hurricane is vitally important and yet very difficult to predict. Uncertainties currently surround the forecasts, however a more westerly track towards Florida or Carolina is currently on the cards in the next 5-6 days.

It must be stressed however, that this is just a current indication and may well prove premature. To keep track of where Fabian is currently forecast to run, click on the chart on the left.
