Hurricane Ian continues to intensify with conditions in Western Cuba deteriorating and forecasters warn the storm is expected to strengthen by the time it hits the U.S. Pam Knox is an Agricultural Climatologist with the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at UGA and the Director of the Weather Network.
Knox says Ian was a Tropical Storm until around 5 am Monday morning. Forecasters are seeing two likely paths of the storm, one of which could mean storm damage along the Georgia coast. A second path would pose more problems for Athens.
Knox says forecasters won’t know which path the storm will take for a couple of days, but either way Athens is expected to see several inches of rain and some gusty winds, particularly Friday and Saturday.
