Good morning everyone! I hope everyone is prepared in the path of this Hurricane for sure. Hope yall get some inland rains for everyone as well. Here is the current steering map.

If this upper level steering flow map is any indication than Ian might be going across Florida after landfall and back out to sea for a second landfall somewhere in the Carolinas as a growing number of models are showing. These shifts east in the major models maybe be portending a trend that needs to be watched. The water temperatures off the Carolina coasts are in the lower eighties so there could be some minor intensification if Ian gets far enough east into the Gulf Stream before making a second landfall.

Now, the flow is changing for sure and that is just the current map, but gives you and idea for sure.
 
Somehow the 6z GFs was worse than the 0z. ?

Is that 53.9 inches of rain I see near Tampa? That would be an unbelievable amount of rain for any one given area. Even the 33.3 inch number above it would bring unheard of rainfall totals and catastrophic flooding for that area.
 
Ian must like the Cuban Cigars. I'snt the 1st time I've seen a cane strengthen, hold steady over land. If its flat, wet/humid enough, It can happen. Everglades area , southern LA comes to mind. Also if its forward speed is fast, getting vented just right , It can aid a Cane over land maintaining its strength.
