El Niño winds and warming seas battle over Hurricane Isaias

Original: El Niño's storm-killer winds and climate's warming waters in fight over future of Hurricane Isaias

Hurricane Isaias is being shaped by two opposing forces: El Niño's strong upper-level winds, which tend to tear storms apart, and unusually warm ocean waters driven by climate change, which fuel intensification. News outlets including PBS, ABC News and other regional papers are running the same story, examining which influence will determine whether the storm strengthens or weakens as it tracks toward populated areas.

Why now: Meteorologists and readers are following Hurricane Isaias closely as its track and intensity could affect millions of people.
