CONDITIONS IN WESTERN CUBA BEGINNING TO DETERIORATE WITH SIGNIFICANT WIND AND STORM SURGE IMPACTS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT
At 800 PM EDT (0000 UTC), the center of Hurricane Ian was located near latitude 20.8 North, longitude 83.3 West. Ian is moving toward the north-northwest near 13 mph (20 km/h). A turn toward the north with a slightly slower forward speed is expected on Tuesday. A turn toward the north-northeast with a further reduction in forward speed is forecast on Wednesday. On the forecast track, the center of Ian is expected to move near or over western Cuba tonight and early Tuesday. Ian will then emerge over the southeastern Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday, pass west of the Florida Keys late Tuesday, and approach the west coast of Florida on Wednesday into Thursday.
