  • The Hurricane Center reported the track a little farther to the east with the storm making landfall late Wednesday.
  • Guidance suggests Ian will cross over the Florida Peninsula back into the Atlantic Ocean before moving west to the East Coast.
  • It is unclear where the potential for a second landfall will be.
  • In our area, the rain will start Friday afternoon and continue into Saturday and later that night.
  • Gusty winds combined with that heavy rain could lead to some power outages.
