Tropical Hurricane Ian

Ian has been stubborn to even move much plus overnight he's definitely bent left. Almost due north.
You’re correct about it bending to the left some and moving more due north. If it had continued the direction it was on yesterday evening the eastern eye wall might already be scraping the coast
 
Bad radar return right? Only problem is I can find multiple 170+ around it….

A slow crawl with the eyewall remaining offshore for much of the day is about the only way to mitigate some of the damage this storm is going to cause. Shallow, upwelling shelf waters and more time for dryer air to affect the core are about the only hope left.

Doubt this will stay category 4. You'd have to be stupid to not upgrade. In a sense it's doing injustice to those in the path not knowing how strong it actually is. But I digress, pretty impressive storm.
Those 180mph wind velocity's radar picks up won't take much for something similar to be realized near the surface in terms of gusts, basically ef4 wind gusts.
