Tropical Storm Isaias lost some strength Sunday morning, but as the system approaches the Central Florida coast, it’s expected to produce strong winds.

That means downed tree limbs and wires could lead to power outages, leaving you in the dark.

Meteorologist Brian Shields said rain squalls could produce winds between 20-40 mph, with some gusts over 50 mph along the coast.
