According to the National Hurricane Center, since Isaias has not shown any signs of re-organizing overnight, the window of opportunity for it to re-strengthen is closing.  Hurricane warnings have been lifted for the east coast of Florida, but Tropical Storm Warnings remain in place.  City of Hollywood Emergency Management staff and public safety personnel are monitoring the track and development of Tropical Storm Isaias and are assessing any impacts from the storm. Residents are urged to use caution when venturing out even though storm impacts are expected to be minimal.
