Here is what we are paying attention to this evening and the next 48 hours from this afternoon’s NWS Forecast.
...Major Hurricane Ian makes landfall on the west coast of Florida, with
catastrophic storm surge, destructive major-hurricane force winds, and
torrential rainfall ongoing...
...Ian's interaction with a front will likely prolong impacts from high
winds, heavy rain, and flooding even for areas further inland through
Thursday...
...Cool and dry weather for the rest of the eastern half of the country
but heavy rain and strong winds from Ian is forecast to edge toward the
Southeast U.S. on Friday...
...Well above average temperatures persist across much of the West, with
excessive heat continuing over parts of southern California, followed by
arrival of rain and cooler temperatures over the Pacific Northwest later
today and into the northern Rockies on Thursday...
