Hurricane Ian is expected to continue strengthening to become a major hurricane. Tropical storm warnings have been issued for the lower Florida keys from the Seven Mile Bridge westward to Key West and the Dry Tortugas.

Additionally, a Storm Surge Watch is in effect for the Florida Keys from Card South Bridge westward to Key West, the Dry Tortugas and other portions of Florida. Waters are anticipated to reach between 2 to 4 ft. in height at the peak of the surge for these areas. According to the National Weather Service, a Storm Surge Watch means there is a possibility of life-threatening inundation, from rising water moving inland from the coastline, in the indicated locations during the next 48 hours.
