Tropical Storm Isaias was upgraded to a Category 1 hurricane Friday morning.

After passing through Puerto Rico, the storm will likely spend Friday moving through the Bahamas on its way to Florida.

The storm is expected to pass by North Florida between Sunday and Monday, according to projections. It is no longer projected to become a Category 2, but it is now expected to come closer to Florida’s east close.

In its 11 a.m. update, the National Hurricane Center issued a Hurricane Watch for “portions of the Florida east coast from north of Deerfield Beach northward to the Volusia-Brevard County Line.”

A Tropical Storm Warning has been issued for some of central Florida’s east coast as well – from north of Ocean Reef to Sebastian Inlet and Lake Okeechobee.

This is a developing story.
