Ian to Become a Cat 4 Today

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane 
Ian, located near western Cuba.

1. Central Tropical Atlantic:
An area of low pressure located several hundred miles west of the 
Cabo Verde Islands is producing disorganized showers and 
thunderstorms. While the system has not become better organized 
since yesterday, environmental conditions are expected to be 
sufficiently conducive for the system to become a tropical 
depression during the next couple of days. Further development will 
become less likely by the end of the week due to strong upper-level 
winds. The disturbance is forecast to meander for the next day or so 
and then turn north-northwestward by early Thursday.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
