Ian Weakens To A Tropical Storm

Ian made its Gulf coast landfall at Cayo Costa Wednesday afternoon, and it brought catastrophic storm surge and damaging winds from the Naples area northward to near Sarasota.  As of this writing, damage assessment is just beginning.  Ian has finally weakened into a tropical storm as it makes its way to the Atlantic coast of central and northern Florida.  Tropical storm warnings are in place for Florida’s  Atlantic coast from Boca Raton northward and for the Gulf coast from Bonita Beach northward to the Big Bend area.

Thursday will be a windy day around South Florida as Ian moves to our north.  Look for lingering storms in the morning, giving way to showers in the afternoon.  Flooding is possible in many locations due to heavy rain earlier this week.  A high risk of dangerous rip currents remains at all South Florida beaches.  Highs on Thursday will be in the upper 80s in the east coast metro area and the mid-80s along the Gulf coast.

Friday will be mostly sunny and breezy.  A few showers will blow through in the afternoon.  Friday’s highs will be in the upper 80s in the east coast metro area and the mid-80s along the Gulf coast.
