NASA's TRMM satellite saw Isaac just after it passed the Leeward Islands and entered the eastern Caribbean. This image was taken at 5:20 pm EDT on Aug. 22, 2012. Although there are areas of moderate (shown in green) to heavy rain (shown in red), these are mainly located southwest of the overall center.
