Tropical Storm Ian is a currently active tropical cyclone threatening Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, Cuba and Florida. The ninth named storm of the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season, Ian originated from a tropical wave that was located by the National Hurricane Center east of the Windward Islands on September 19. Two days later the wave moved into the Caribbean Sea, where it brought winds and heavy rain to ABC islands and to the northern coasts of Venezuela and Colombia; it then showed signs of development of a tropical depression later that day, as its convection increased and became more focused.
Florida declared a state of emergency on September 23.[1]

Extratropical cyclone, remnant low, tropical disturbance, or monsoon depressionOn September 19, the NHC began tracking a tropical wave to the east of the Windward Islands for possible gradual development.[2] Two days later, the wave moved into the southeastern Caribbean, where it brought gusty winds and heavy rain to the ABC Islands and to the northern coast of South America on September 22. During that day, as the disturbance tracked west-northwestward, it showed signs of increasing organization. Strong wind shear of 30–35 mph (45–55 km/h) generated by the upper-level outflow from Hurricane Fiona was, however, inhibiting development of a tropical depression.[3] Even so, a well-defined circulation was able to form within the disturbance that day; its convection then increased and become persistent over night into the next day, resulting in it being designated Tropical Depression Nine early on September 23. [4] By 03:00 UTC on September 24, the depression's wind speed had increased to 40 mph (65 km/h), and thus was given the name Ian.
Current storm information
[edit]As of 8:00 a.m. EDT (12:00 UTC) September 24, Tropical Storm Ian is located within 40 nautical miles of 14°12′N 74°30′W / 14.2°N 74.5°W, about 300 miles (485 km) south-southeast of Kingston, Jamaica and about 570 miles (915 km) southeast of Grand Cayman. Maximum sustained winds are about 40 knots (45 mph; 75 km/h), gusting up to 50 knots (60 mph; 95 km/h). The minimum barometric pressure is 1003 mbar (29.62 inHg), and the system is moving west at 12 knots (14 mph; 22 km/h). Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (72 km) from the center of Ian. As Tropical Storm Ian progresses, it is expected to become a hurricane on the early morning hours of September 26, with landfall in Cuba, Monday night. The system is then predicted to continue through the Gulf of Mexico and strengthen into a major hurricane (systems with a minimum of 111 mph), by Tuesday night. Florida has issued a state of emergency on September 23, as landfall in the state is expected on Wednesday, September 28. Interests in the state should monitor the storm.
