WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — All eyes are on the Caribbean where Tropical Storm Ian is forecast to begin rapidly intensifying and becoming a hurricane Sunday.
Additional strengthening to a major hurricane (Category 4) is possible by early next week as it heads into the Gulf of Mexico
The computer models continue to shift west - taking the strongest impacts away from the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast. As always - we need to stay on guard for any potential track changes. The biggest impacts will be felt here on Tuesday and Wednesday with gusty rain showers expected.
Hurricane hunters will fly in and continue to investigate and computer model data will become more consistent and reliable.
In the meantime, a stationary front lies across central Florida and this will trigger scattered showers & storms this weekend, some of those storms could be strong, especially each afternoon.
There are currently no watches or warnings in effect for South Florida at this time.
