Ian is a hurricane again and is on its way to the Carolina coast.  At 5 am, Hurricane Ian was located near 30.8 North, 79.1 West, about 145 miles south-southeast of Charleston, South Carolina.  Maximum sustained winds were 85 miles per hour, and Ian was moving north-northeast at 9 miles per hour.  A hurricane warning is in effect from the Savannah River to Cape Fear, North Carolina.  Ian will bring life-threatening storm surge, flooding rain, and damaging winds to the coast of Georgia and the Carolinas today into Saturday.

Elsewhere, TD # 11 has dissipated in the open Atlantic.   And there’s a new wave that just entered the far eastern Atlantic.  It has a medium chance of becoming a depression.
