After veering away from making a direct hit in Florida, Hurricane Isaias is now on a collision course with the Carolinas and then with the rest of the Eastern Seaboard all the way to Maine through midweek.

Isaias is beginning a multiday assault on the U.S. East Coast with tropical storm conditions gradually developing over Florida on Saturday night, followed by hurricane conditions Sunday. The former hurricane was reclassified as a tropical storm by the National Hurricane Center in its 5 p.m. update but is forecast to regain hurricane strength Saturday night. As of 8 p.m., it was already showing signs of re-intensification.
