Tropical Storm Ian was located about 270 miles south-southeast of Kingston, Jamaica, as of 11 a.m. Saturday and moving west at about 15 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center.
The forecast shows Ian "as a major hurricane over the eastern Gulf when it is approaching the west coast of Florida," after briefly passing over Cuba, the center said Friday. Much of the Gulf Coast of Florida, including the eastern Panhandle, could be at risk.
Tropical storm-force winds could begin to affect southwest Florida early Tuesday, with landfall possible on Wednesday. "Ian is likely to be near major hurricane intensity when it approaches western Cuba," the hurricane center said. "Since Ian is not expected to remain over Cuba long, little weakening is expected due to that land interaction."
An NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate Ian and provide additional data later Saturday, according to the center.
