Meanwhile, in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico it's all about Major Hurricane Ian.
Ian, with 120 mph sustained winds Tuesday afternoon was continuing to show signs of strengthening after crossing Cuba.
The storm is expected to scrape obliquely along the west coast of Florida Wednesday afternoon at near Category 4 status and making landfall somewhere between Sarasota and Ft Meyers Florida.
In addition to destructive winds, Ian will bring up to a 12 foot storm surge and a swath of rainfall of up to 10-20" across the sunshine state through Thursday.
