NEW: Hurricane Ian will make landfall between Tampa and Fort Myers, Florida, on Wednesday but will remain over Florida until Thursday evening. Hurricane Ian is bringing torrential rain, life-threatening flash flooding and dangerous storm surge to western Cuba. Ian is expected to intensify to a Category 4 strength as it moves NW towards the Florida coast. The entire state of Florida is bracing for hurricane conditions Wednesday into Thursday. The primary issue with this system is how long it’ll be slowly moving across Florida. Time span is between Wednesday into Friday from the Tampa Bay area to Jacksonville. Life-threatening storm surge of six to 10+ feet will impact the west coast of Florida. Several evacuation alerts are in place for western parts of Florida. Models are coming into agreement for catastrophic impacts sweeping across central and west Florida. The remnants of Ian will stall south of our area this weekend. Impacts from Ian will be minimal to our area. We will see mostly cloudy conditions with the chance of showers Sunday evening into Monday. Stay tuned for any changes!

Storm Watch Team Meteorologist Alex Calamia says cooler air will arrive Wednesday in the Hudson Valley.
