Tropical storm warnings have been extended north to Surf City, North Carolina, according to the National Hurricane Center’s notice of 11 a.m. (Miami time).
A tropical storm warning was also issued for the North Carolina coast, north of Surf City to Duck, North Carolina, and this includes all the Outer Banks.
The tropical storm warning was discontinued south of Jupiter Inlet in Florida, meaning that West Palm Beach is no longer under alert or warning for tropical storm conditions.
Tropical storm force winds extend over the Florida coast from the Jupiter Inlet inlet to Vero Beach, and will continue to extend north along the coast as the day progresses.
Some context: Tropical Storm Isaias remains a strong system with sustained winds of 104 kilometers per hour and is expected to maintain this intensity as it moves along the Florida coast for the next 24 hours.
