The National Hurricane Center projects landfall farther north along Florida’s Gulf Coast north of Tampa, although that projection is likely to continue shifting through the weekend, forecasters said.
Tropical Storm Ian is expected to intensify quickly today and could become a hurricane tonight as it passes by the Cayman Islands on the way toward Cuba. The longer-range path for Ian, which could become a major hurricane late Monday, is still very uncertain, and areas from Alabama to the Florida peninsula remain at risk.ORLANDO, Fla. — Tropical Storm Ian grew overnight in the Caribbean, still with a path that could bring it to Florida next week as a hurricane, prompting Gov.
“Ian is expected to remain a major hurricane when it moves generally northward across the eastern Gulf of Mexico during the middle of next week, but uncertainty in the track forecast is higher than usual,” said NHC hurricane specialist Brad Reinhart.
NASA decided Saturday morning it wasn’t worth risking a launch attempt from Kennedy Space Center for its Artemis I mission to the moon on Tuesday as well, but won’t make a decision until Sunday on whether or not to roll back the Space Launch System rocket with the Orion spacecraft to the safety of the Vehicle Assembly Building. The rocket can withstand sustained winds of 85 mph at the launch pad, so if it stays a potential launch could happen on Oct. 2.
DeSantis also requested a federal emergency declaration ahead of landfall that would free up funding sources for emergency protective measures for the entire state. A Publix store in the Metrowest was nearly sold out of water on Saturday, Sept. 24, 2022, in Orlando, Florida, as residents ready themselves ahead of Tropical Storm Ian, which is expected to make landfall in the state as a hurricane. A hurricane warning is in effect for the Cayman Islands with a tropical storm watch in place for Little Cayman and Cayman Brac.
