Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line out
to 60 nm
321 AM EDT Tue Sep 27 2022

SYNOPSIS

Hurricane Ian is expected to continue to intensify as it enters the
eastern Gulf of Mexico. While uncertainty in both the track and
intensity of Ian remains higher than usual, we want to stress that
regardless of the exact track, there is a risk of tropical storm
force winds arriving as early as Wednesday morning followed by the
potential for a prolonged period of hurricane force winds beginning
late on Wednesday. Mariners should closely monitor the latest
forecasts on Ian, which will aid in making sound decisions to
minimize impacts to vessels at sea or in port.
