CNN reported some 15 min. ago Ian has turned S. Its W side is again in water and it can grow

stronger. Weather dudes don't seem to know what it's gonna do next, so stay tuned. The 11:00 NWS advisory is coming up.

1. Turned south?

Well that seems a bit...odd. Did someone accidently hit the rewind button?

Unless you mean the projected landfall on the Florida coast is further south than what they were predicting before.

2. Yep. Like it's maybe gonna make a loop. Years ago, Elena made two loops out in the Gulf before it

made landing. Everybody had to watch it for about 5 days because nobody seemed to know what was going on. The weather guy Miles-something gave that forecast. He's been a longtime meterologist/pilot.

3. Correction: It was Chad Meyers, not Miles who announced that. At 11 am, Chad said it "does appear

to be going more southerly." But it appears they think it's still going northerly (?). He said it may push less water into Tampa Bay with that slight movement.

4. I think they mean it's still heading north but will make a turn towards the east sooner

Resulting in a more southern Florida landfall below Tampa Bay, as opposed to directly at it.

Just my guess.

5. Look out

Sarasota and Charlotte Counties!

6. It didn't turn South

He's still heading North. At the 11am NHC update, they adjusted their cone for a landfall South of Tampa....more near Venice.

7. You should correct the OP title.

The storm is headed northward but has turned slightly to the east, making landfall a little more to the south of Florida’s western coast.

No need to start rumors by posting incorrect information.

8. This is really good news for No. FL.

It was predicted to come through here, but no more. Jacksonville's protection seems to be intact.

I've been telling all my friends in other states not to worry - glad this happened, as it usually does.
