Hurricane Ian Updates

Ian strengthened into a hurricane early Monday morning, with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph.

Ian is expected to strengthen rapidly today, bringing significant wind and storm surge to the Gulf of Mexico and heading towards the Gulf Coast of Florida.

Exactly where Ian will make a Florida landfall remains uncertain, according to the National Hurricane Center.

A hurricane watch has been issued for the west coast of Florida from north of Englewood to the Anclote River, including Tampa Bay.
