this last frame was 00z 

so from a few hours ago, it’s probably nearly done it’s eyecwall replacement  by now or close to it, and retightening the eye while expanding the overall wind field 

just need to verify on latest IR images on the navy site

Do notice the drop on Current intensity on ADT but then another surge of  adjusted T within the last few hours, Ci normally lags adjt movements. 

this also hints (lineups well with) the erc being pretty much complete as a restrengthening occurs with the aid of a diurnal boost, size of hurricane should continue to grow for a bit

Don’t be surprised if CI to push towards the h5 140kt mark on adt if it resurges

Incredible. Imagine what most of these hurricanes would look like if Cuba wasn’t there.

 That really is remarkable to see visually. You can also see that Ian hasn't really gained much latitude in the last several hours until recently with that slight NE jog. Influence of the front is showing its' push.

Got a family member in s FL. Texted them to watch out for twisters and they wrote back it's just a bit of wind and rain it's no big deal. Sent them the picture of the airport and they were like oh shit better turn on the news. 🤣🤣

I think the whole weakening before landfall thing is kind of off the table. Now that it's got the erc over with its just gonna fire on all cylinders over this shallow hot water. Bad situation for sure, this surge is no joke. People who aren't heeding the surge warnings may be in for a rough swim.  I think we are looking at strengthening and will wake up to quite a storm. This guy just shrugs off everything. Cuba, erc, whatever. Ian still like 🖕  🖕

it appears like it still needs to contract it new eye.  Will be a close if it can before landfall and surge again or has it reached its plateau3020DF2E-FF5E-4746-AD3D-0F95AC1DC077.thumb.jpeg.1200a31a9a06a2dcabcf445fe776f6cd.jpegD896950B-604C-4980-94AC-7A020F915627.thumb.jpeg.f749f7ccbfdc7dd3a1461c859f3d043e.jpeg

regardless its a powerful hurricane take all necessary precautions and be safe !!

Was just down in Key west this past April. You could literally not pay me enough to be on that island during a hurricane. One way in one way out... no thanks. lol

Very nice storm we have here. I believe we may push to Cat 4 status toward daybreak. I want to say the most reasonable area for landfall will be between Ft Myers and Tampa, gotta say tampa really lucked out with this one. Best guess is around Sarasota, Fl.

Still probably have a solid 12-18 hours before landfall potential.

Any wind reports?  Closest buoy I found is about 75 miles away, but only 25-30 mph as of an hour or so ago.

With winds offshore to the north, water levels are currently low

Oddly, even south of the storm they are running low.

What is the best case scenario? Riding East of the apps or West of the apps?

I don't believe it's forecast to really gain a ton of latitude, but hypothetically, I think west would cause less problems. A stall on the east side could set up an easterly fetch off the ocean, and wring out moisture in east facing slopes. Heavy rain and riding being the highest probability threats.

  Ian appears to want to spin itself out over the SE after moving over land, per latest models.  Decaying systems can still produce lots of rain.
