Hurricane Ian expected to make landfall as a category 3 or 4 storm
As of 11 p.m. Tuesday night, Hurricane Ian was 110 miles southwest of Naples. FOX 13 Chief Meteorologist Paul Dellegatto expects Ian to make landfall near the Cape Coral/ Fort Myers area as a category 3 or 4 hurricane. He says Ian will cause a storm surge. He also expects a lot of residents in Tampa and southward to lose power. Dellegatto says he wouldn?t be surprise if Tampa Bay had less water in it by Wednesday morning due to a northeast wind pushing the water offshore. He said we can expect winds of up to 100 miles per hour in southern Sarasota County and toward Fort Myers.

Tropical Storm Ian evening update: September 26, 2022
FOX13?s Chief Meteorologist Paul Dellegatto says it?s ?all signs go? when it comes to Tropical Storm Ian. He says the storm will enter a spot in the northwest Caribbean Sea Sunday night and Monday morning with very warm water and very light shear, which means there is nothing to stop Ian from rapidly intensifying. Dellegatto says the big questions are what position the storm will take and what structure it will have as it near the Florida coast late Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Dellegato says he will not be surprised if a Hurricane Watch is issued for a portion of Florida on Monday. The models show Tropical Storm Ian running parallel with the state, which is not good news for Florida because it increases the storm surge risk.
