VERO BEACH, Fla.—Bands of heavy rain from Isaias lashed Florida’s east coast Sunday, with the tropical storm strengthening slightly in the evening on its way up the Eastern seabord.
Officials dealing with surging cases of the coronavirus in Florida kept a close watch on the storm that was weakened from a hurricane to a tropical storm Saturday afternoon, but could strengthen into a hurricane on approach to the Carolinas on Monday. The system still brought heavy rain and flooding to Florida’s Atlantic coast.
