Tropical Storm Ian continues to gain strength as it churns through the northwest Caribbean, first set to slam western Cuba before making a turn north or northeastward and setting its sights on Florida.
Tropical Storm Ian is slowly gaining strength as it churns through the northwest Caribbean, set to slam western Cuba before making a northward turn and aiming toward Florida. A period of rapid strengthening is expected to begin Sunday night, and could continue through Tuesday as Ian enters the southeastern Gulf of Mexico.The storm is projected to approach the coast of Florida as a hurricane late Thursday into early Friday, although its landfall location, strength and timing are still uncertain.
Uncertainty “in the long-term track and intensity forecast is higher than usual,” the National Hurricane Center wrote Sunday. “Regardless of Ian’s exact track and intensity, there is a risk of dangerous storm surge, hurricane-force winds, and heavy rainfall along the west coast of Florida and the Florida Panhandle by the middle of the week.”
Western Cuba also faces 6 to 10 inches of rain and locally as much as 16 inches, potentially triggering flash flooding and mudslides. Heavy rainfall is also forecast over Jamaica and the Cayman Islands, where 4 to 8 inches is possible.The storm’s path is still uncertain, but it appears headed to make landfall between the west coast of Florida and the Panhandle region between late Wednesday and early Friday.
