Hurricane Ian

Yeah I think it's safe to say it's rapidly intensifying now.

3pm - 120mph and 952mb.

Got some pink showing up in the IR overlay on that tower on the NW side of the eyewall. That's one's tall.

Looks like it might be starting an eyewall replacement cycle.

Outer eyewall definitely looks to be taking shape. Unfortunately there should be enough time for it to complete the ERC today/tonight and then have time to strengthen again before landfall.

Tornado warning popped in Monroe County, FL. Thankfully this area is essentially uninhabited.

Forecast track has shifted southeast some, which might spare Tampa a direct hit. The center of the cone is kind of splitting the uprights between Tampa and Fort Myers right now.

On a less serious note, my high school (in Georgia) bumped their game up to Thursday since their stadium presumably doesn't double as an ark.

Recon just found an extrapolated pressure of 946mb.

I hope the ERC isn’t finished by the time it makes landfall.

Yeesh. Still deepening. It can stop that any time now.

Looks like Ian is being affected by some SW shear.

 

[Blountwolf]

Sucked in a slug of midlevel dry air, but has pretty much mixed it out now.

High tide at Key West looks like it's going to be damp.

Key West gauge just went in to the major flooding category, and still a little over an hour before high tide.

Here comes the new eye, I think
