125 mph at 4am advisory, and bearing down on Western Cuba. Winds according to forecast are to peak at 135 mph tomorrow, and then start deminishing tomrrow, but gradual enough, that when FL sees it, it will still be a strong Cat 2 or weak Cat 3.
This slightly better news is the fact now that there is a pretty strong cold front diving southward into the gulf late Wednesday. That interaction will help the storm have to share convection and energy with low in the front. One other bit of good news, is that Ian has lost its beautiful classical symetrical form, and the storm is significantly more convection laden on the east side. Looks like a fairly dry wedge of air is getting pulled into Ian at about 86W. This is good news too, and should help further development.
Still though, a lot can change in the next 72-96 hours, and everyone north of 26N in Florida should rush to complete preparing, and evacuation if in cone and directed, and keep an eye on this if they aren't.
