Ian is presently a tropical storm in the Caribbean Sea and is expected to intensify next week into a powerful hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico.

The most, if not all, of the storm's effects will remain to the south and east of Alabama barring any significant course changes. See the video above for the most recent information on the tropics.

By early Sunday, Ian is expected to reach the western portion of the ridge, and the storm should turn west-northwestward, and then northwestward over the northwestern Caribbean in 36 to 48 hours.

Ian is anticipated to reach the western part of the ridge by early Sunday, at which point it will move west-northwest and then northwest across the northern Caribbean in 36 to 48 hours.

After that, Ian is anticipated to shift northward and around the western side of the ridge in a north-northwesterly direction.

Ian will be brought into the southeast Gulf of Mexico and near or over western Cuba as a result. The forecast shows that the storm will start to recurve into Florida late in the time frame.

The track models generally agree with this scenario, as was already indicated, however there is a significant degree of cross-track dispersion after 72 hours and beyond.
