Channel 9 meteorologist Kassandra Crimi said squalls from Tropical Storm Isaias are moving into Central Florida Sunday morning.
She said the storm remains 30 miles off the coast of South Florida.
Channel 9 meteorologist Kassandra Crimi said the 8 a.m. advisory for Tropical Storm Isaias shows the track of the storm continuing to skirt the east coast of Florida.
She said the new track keeps the storm at tropical storm strength with winds of 65 mph.
The storm is moving even slower as of the 8 a.m. update, inching northwest up the coast at 8 mph. It is set to be off the coast of Central Florida very early Monday morning.
The National Weather Service said the center of Tropical Storm Isaias is now off the coast of Palm Beach County. Officials said outer bands are moving into Volusia and Brevard counties.
Channel 9 reporter Megan Cruz said she sought shelter under an awning as a squall moved in to Cocoa Beach.
Channel 9 meteorologist Brian Shields said life-threatening surf conditions are possible as Tropical Storm Isaias continues to move north along Florida’s east coast.
“Stay out of the water,” he said.
She reported that a brief shower rolled through just after sunrise, quickly drying up. She said the ocean is rough, and it’s a bit breezy, but otherwise a nice morning there so far.
Channel 9 Meteorologist Kassandra Crimi is warning people to stay out of the surf as the storm is forecast to cause dangerous conditions in the water, with 5 to 8 foot waves this morning, getting even higher this afternoon.
Brevard County Emergency Management officials said Tropical Storm Isaias could produce 2 to 4 foot storm surge flooding along portions of the coast.
Tropical storm warnings are in place for all of east Central Florida except for Lake County, according to the National Weather Service.
Tropical Storm Isaias is continuing to weaken, according to the 5 a.m. track, now with max winds of 65 mph.
Channel 9 meteorologist Brian Shields said the latest track is good news for Florida as it keeps the worst of the storm’s weather off the east coast of the state.
Shields said the storm is not expected to strengthen back into a hurricane.
“Overall this is better news,” he said.
Meteorologist Kassandra Crimi said the storm’s continued weakening means the hurricane watches and warnings have been dropped from our coastal areas.
She said there will still be dangerous conditions in the water, with 5 to 8 foot waves this morning, getting even higher this afternoon.
Tropical Storm Isaias remains a tropical storm early this morning with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph.
Isaias will move back over warm waters through the morning, where some intensification could occur.
Isaias is expected to either remain a high-grade Tropical Storm or intensity to a low-grade Category 1 Hurricane, sliding up our east coast throughout the day.
Near-hurricane force winds remain possible along our coast, with a maximum peak storm surge of 2-4 feet.
Coastal erosion and coastal flooding are concerns.
Timing of Isaias’ impacts are expected Sunday afternoon through Monday morning.
