WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A Hurricane Warning is in effect for coastal Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast due to the threat of Hurricane Isaias this weekend.
The Hurricane Warning extends from Boca Raton to the Volusia/Brevard County line in Central Florida.
As of 2 a.m. Saturday, the storm has maximum sustained winds of 85 mph and moving northwest at 14 mph.
Some additional strengthening is possible today, and Isaias is forecast to remain a hurricane for the next couple of days.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 175 miles.
Chief First Alert Weather Meteorologist Steve Weagle said the storm's arrival has slowed a few hours. Palm County could start to see tropical storm force winds around 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
The worst weather is expected to now occur at about 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. Sunday.
The storm is then expected to parallel the Treasure Coast for most of the day on Sunday.
The probability of Palm Beach County seeing tropical-storm-force winds is likely, but there is only about a 10 percent chance of hurricane-force winds.
On the forecast track, the center of Isaias will move near or over the central Bahamas tonight, near or over the northwestern Bahamas Saturday and near the east coast of the Florida Saturday afternoon through Sunday.
From Friday night through Tuesday, South Florida into east-Central Florida could receive 2 to 4 inches with isolated maximum totals of 6 inches.
By Sunday afternoon, Isaias is forecast to be north of our viewing area.
Chief First Alert Weather Meteorologists Steve Weagle, James Wieland discuss the latest on Hurricane Isaias on Facebook Live:
Isaias became a Category 1 hurricane late Thursday night, and is no longer expected to strengthen into a Category 2 hurricane as it approaches the Bahamas on Saturday, according to the National Hurricane Center.
