Additional weakening is expected, and Ian is forecast to dissipate over south-central Virginia by tonight. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1001 mb (29.56 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Ian can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT4 and WMO header WTNT44 KNHC and on the web at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT4.shtml. WIND: Gusty winds are expected to continue across portions of the central and southern Appalachians through this morning. RAINFALL: Ian is expected to produce 2 to 4 inches with local maxima of 6 inches across portions of the Central Appalachians and coastal Mid-Atlantic. Major to record river flooding will continue across central Florida through next week. Limited flash, urban and small stream flooding is possible across the central Appalachians and the southern Mid-Atlantic this weekend, with minor river flooding expected over the coastal Carolinas. SURF: Swells generated by Ian are affecting the coast of the southeastern United States and the northwestern Bahamas but should gradually subside over the weekend. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
