4:20pm Ian Update

By -
Here is the latest National Hurricane Center path forecast for Tropical Storm Ian.
They took the forecast path slightly back to the east and that doesn't surprise me at all. A hurricane warning has been extended to western Cuba (red) and one continues for Grand Cayman Island. 

I would continue to keep a close eye on the progress of Ian anywhere on the Florida Gulf Coast north of Ft. Meyers. 

Flooding rains are likely in Florida and nearby areas (see below).

--- This Forecast Has Been Updated  --- You Will Find the New Forecast Here After a quick look at the new data this evening, I believe the forecast is still good. There may be light amounts of freezing rain in north central Texas as far south as Waco. It will not be enough to cause power outages but -- if it occurs -- it will make roads very slick.  The snow amount forecasts haven't changed. I believe DFW will receive 1-3" with heavier amounts as you go northeast. I-30 will become a mess for its entire route.  --- original forecast still valid --- Here are the latest NWS winter weather warnings and watches as of 3:15pm Note: the white "hole" in southwest Texas will be filled in with a purple winter weather advisory for 1-3 inches of snow.  Color codes: Pink = winter storm warning  Dark green = winter storm watch Purple = winter weather advisory  Bright green = ongoing flood warning  Dark blue and bright turquoise = freeze warnings.  As expected, t...
