10PM forecast track for newly-designated Tropical Storm #Ian…
NHC continues to call for a major hurricane landfall somewhere along the western Gulf Coast of Florida.
Really monitor this storm carefully if you’re anywhere in the Florida PENINSULA. Tampa, St. Pete, Ft. Myers… pic.twitter.com/QeVKJCf5EO

TD9 has strengthened and is now Tropical Storm Ian.
The center of Ian is located about 385 miles southeast of Kingston, Jamaica. Maximum winds up to 40 mph.
Strengthening is likely in the days ahead. Ian will probably become a formidable hurricane early next week. pic.twitter.com/67v27apyhH

Tropical Depression Nine will likely become a tropical storm soon, likely taking the name "Ian."
NHC explicitly calls for this system to become a major hurricane on approach to Florida in 5 days.

Tropical Storm #Hermine has formed in the far eastern Atlantic Ocean near Africa.
This means the system we’ve been watching so carefully in the Caribbean Sea (TD9) will likely take the next name once it becomes a tropical storm. Next name is Ian. pic.twitter.com/xCPAT2xI0B

Per ATCF, we may (unofficially) have a winner 👀.
TD Ten has been designated as TS #Hermine in the 18Z update. Awaiting forecast advisory package next hour to make it official.
This would mean TD Nine becomes #Ian if named next. https://t.co/vnhnYQ8TQO

I will say, it is interesting that the current center of TD9 is displaced from convection and also on the extreme N/E fringe of the NHC cone from 2 hours ago. Kudos to @NickLilja for catching this. What this means in the long run? Maybe nothing. Maybe something. But it's notable. pic.twitter.com/pqCOcn9xfH

WIth models bouncing around a bit this morning with respect to TD 9, it should not come as a surprise. Excellent graphic from @burgwx showing the day *6* forecast spread among model ensembles last night indicated no real consensus outcome, though a focus on Florida & the E Gulf. pic.twitter.com/ZP5QCuOfrt

Showers and thunderstorms will be possible Sunday P.M. into Monday A.M. as a frontal boundary slides by our region. Slightly cooler air arrives Monday and Monday night! 🙌 pic.twitter.com/OVmGsI2T9n

First visible satellite images of the day highlight shear continuing to expose the center of newly-designated Tropical Depression 9 in the Caribbean Sea.
Much of the rain/storm action is displaced to the SW of the circulation. pic.twitter.com/ug2zyFAvub

Large burst of fairly consistent convection with INVEST #98L tonight. Strong shear out of the north continues to keep most of the convection SW of the circulation zone. Let’s see what this system looks like in 6-12 hours. May be a tropical depression by that point. pic.twitter.com/6d0AtXO86p

🌡️ Pensacola, FL set a new record high temperature today of 98 degrees. This breaks the old record of 96° set in the years 1925 and 1990. Record-breaking heat today!
