The storm was about about 980 miles (1,577 kilometers)
east-northeast of Bermuda and about 1,175 miles (1,890 km) west
of the Azores, with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph (121 kph).
It was heading east at 12 mph (19 kph).
There were no coastal watches or warnings in effect, but the
waves could cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions in Bermuda, the Miami-based U.S. National Hurricane
Center said.
Potentially dangerous waves also could spread to the Azores, the
center said. Isaac is expected to strengthen before gradually
weakening by the end of the weekend.
The storm has been churning in the ocean as Hurricane Helene
made landfall in northwestern Florida as a Category 4 storm
before weaking early Friday, leaving behind flooding, damage and
power outages.
