Users are reminded that the long-term average NHC 4- and 5-day track errors are around 150 and 200 nautical miles, respectively." Track past or present Hurricanes with our Hurricane Tracker for Season 2022. "Given the spread in the guidance, and the still shifting dynamical models, additional adjustments to the track forecast may be needed in subsequent advisories. "In fact, the east-west spread in the guidance at 96 hours is about 180 nautical miles." "There is a large amount of cross-track spread at 72 hours and beyond," according to the hurricane center's forecast discussion early Saturday morning. While virtually all of Florida is within the forecast cone, meteorologists say the long-term track remains largely unpredictable. It is forecast to become a hurricane by Sunday night or Monday morning, and conditions are favorable for Ian to intensify into a Category 3 hurricane by Wednesday morning. The forecast track from the hurricane center early Saturday continued to have Ian entering the Gulf of Mexico as a hurricane on Tuesday, with nearly the entire state within the cone of uncertainty. NOAA/NESDIS/STAR Hurricane Ian is projected to bring a perilous storm surge and winds as strong as 140 mph when it nears Floridas. That path would take Ian past Jamaica on Saturday, then near the Cayman Islands on Sunday night, and approaching western Cuba on Monday. This satellite image was captured shortly after 2 p.m. Maximum sustained winds are at 45 mph with higher gusts, and Ian is projected to turn to the west-northwest through Sunday, then turn to the northwest late Sunday and shift to the north-northwest by late Monday. It's track continued to move slightly west, compared to earlier forecasts. Saturday, Ian was located about 250 miles south of Kingston, Jamaica and moving to the west at 16 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center.
