[Sunday evening] Ian Strengthening; Significant Impacts to Cuba and Florida expected this Week

[@slartybarfastb3648]

Thanks Levi! You're indispensable for us Floridians. I wish local and network 'weatherpeople' would learn from your example. You have the formula for how this type of forecasting should be conveyed to the public.

[@caririckman4655]

Thank you Levi. You’re the one I trust most with this. We appreciate you.

[@katrig1257]

Me too.

[@MarkFL98]

Thank you Levi, for the “real” information, always concise and on point 🙌

[@Mrbluecollar00]

Well, he does work for the Pacific Hurricane Center...

[@slartybarfastb3648]

@@Mrbluecollar00 Well the other people there didn't see a need to inform us in a better way. Levi did.

[@Snowstar837]

I've learned so, so much from watching these videos the past 5 years or so. I can actually understand weather maps now! When I see a new upload, I look at the satellite imagery, recon planes, and models, and try to predict what Levi will say before I watch it :D

[@slartybarfastb3648]

I do the same. Hurricanes have always mesmerized me. As a surfer, the incredible power of the swell generated is humbling and I wanted to understand the force creating them. So for years, I'd drive hours to get hit any landfalling storms close enough. Then they started coming to me instead! I try to analyse them all day also, then compare notes with Levi's video to see if I've learned anything from him since the last one. I still have much to learn. But that's the fun part. Winter is boring.

[@clarettanijhuis8345]

The trusted Dr. Cowan…love your videos & all the detail they entail. Thank you so much. 🙌

[@nickp4961]

Levi…once again you are there for us. Thanks and blessings for all you do.

[@artemismoon7655]

I am so relieved to see your video after getting video suggestions all afternoon for videos bu people slapping monster storms over Florida and proclaiming doom. Thank you as always for being such a reliable resource!

[@douglascooper1987]

Thanks Dr.Cowan , I have family in Tampa, they watch and listen to you everytime a Storm gets near.👍👍

[@trevorrenson372]

Always appreciate your updates. Thank you from Florida!

[@markspann]

Thanks Doc C. I tell everyone that's interested in a deep dive into tropical weather systems to go here. It's hard to even watch most weather coverage on local TV stations after watching your analysis. Some are downright cringe-worthy, if ya know what I mean.

[@jeffersonspace]

Thanks for the great work Levi. Please be safe everyone.

[@shawgage]

Great rundown. Starting to worry about the Tampa area…

[@ejej6934]

Levi: If you have an extra minute some time, could you discuss the different effects of a hurricane on storm surge to the "right" side of the storm's path as compared with areas in its direction of travel? In other words: Does a hurricane push less water out to its side than it does ahead? My guess is that it does, because of the transient effects to the sides of the hurricane as opposed to the more sustained force exerted ahead of the storm. I'm probably way off, but that's my guess. Thank you.

[@kendra5703]

Thank You. What would we do without you?!

[@Kxngteezy]

Thanks for the update Dr.Cowan

[@jamieraymond7929]

Thank you Levi! I'm not in FL anymore. But still love learning about hurricanes from your videos since way back in the day.

[@bstelly]

Thanks for the heads up, dude. You are an invaluable source of trusted knowledge.

[@philipfoster5591]

Thank you for your great analysis.

[@CarlVandenberg]

Thanks for the update Levi...as usual keeping my eye out for the potential "leftovers" we tend to get in central NC. We took a direct hit from hurricane Fran back in 1996 which was a bit more than leftovers...those spin up tornadoes really did a number on us with that storm. Ever since then I've paid attention to where the remnants are heading regardless of where the hurricane makes landfall.

[@atimewave]

Thanks for doing what you do

[@JohnSmith-zi9or]

I had a hunch that the GFS models would realign themselves more with the Euro models. It seems the NHC was basically shooting the center between the two.

[@cherylannem8841]

Thanks so much Levi! Boston, MA area here.

[@daviddryden8088]

I am supposed to be traveling out of Atlanta this coming early Thursday morning, going north to Nashville and this is the forecast that I rely upon to know whether or not that will be possible. I watched a few others from networks but until TT (lLevi) says it...I will go from there with my decisions. Concise, to the point, and usually 100% correct if the last 4 or 5 years are any indication.

[@Lori5564]

I have been worried about this one. GFS has it coming straight towards me in Georgia. I hope it doesn't get bad for us here.

[@Phil-dx8rw]

Great work, very informative

[@HeyChickens]

It will be interesting to see where the dry slot sets up on the south side of the storm once it starts pulling in dry air. That may limit rainfall totals somewhat over the southern peninsula.

[@jesseperrella]

Yess I was waiting for an upload from you!

[@ScottGridleyPHD]

Does the strength of the hurricane have any effect on the trough? Can the hurricane draw the trough further south and west, or is it "oblivious" to the smaller low? THX!

[@shortattentionspangarage1312]

I live in Tampa, but fortunately 30 miles off the gulf and at 72' elevation. This forecast is going to make for a messy week if it pans out.

[@scarlettvargas6739]

What part? I'm in waters ave and Dale Mabry. Is that far to the gulf?

[@DanaLeeGibson]

I do not feel better, but that is not your fault. Thank you for the explanation, I just wish the "cone" would move past Fort Myers. If I sign up for your patreon do you think you could make that happen? :)

Thanks Levi. I have some friends moored up aboard the SV Celtic Cross eventually heading to the Bahamas. The skipper Dave is watching the predictwinds site and I just sent him a lick to your video. What do you anticipate for SC? At this time, 5am Monday. Cheers, Michael in Toronto.

[@michaelsluka9344]

TT is the best analysis available, hands down by a wide margin….and I watch them all……not just what is happening or expected to happen, but why. I was uncertain why the European model was forecasting the rightward movement at Central Florida for several days and now Levi has explained why. (Although watching Julie Durda Channel 10 FTL has its benefits as well.)

[@FindYourFree]

on point as always

[@joannmccaffrey822]

Some guy from an abc action news stream recommended you … said your the best he’s seen… so I changed the channel🤗 East coast in Palm Bay wanting to know how bad it might get over here.

[@linklesstennessee2078]

Good information

[@RadChick]

I'll say it again: Crystal River nuke plant could be in big trouble from this storm. They already had manatees dying because the seagrass was contaminated from a leaking phospho-gypsum stack just to the south, and those stacks are all over the place in the area. Hope DeSantis has a plan to deal with the environmental fallout this may cause. They are basically mounds of dirt holding a radioactive slurry. Good luck everyone, pray those things hold together. This could be extremely bad for the Tampa Bay area. Honeymoon Island is our favorite beach at Dunedin, when we went there after the leak there were literally thousands of dead fish everywhere. It was just terrible.

[@debbie4269]

I find it whether odd this hurricane was forecasted when it was just a wave and yet can not be exact after the wave has become a hurricane. Does it make any sense?

[@vaderjones357]

Makes complete sense...ya follow the weather patterns when the wave comes off the coast of Africa...and you follow the weather patterns when it gets into the straights/gulf. It's not forecast exact landfall until ya see how the U.S. weather patterns will act

[@ethanshinn9516]

Will West Palm Beach, FL see any rain or wind gusts? This is my first hurricane and I am freaking out. If someone can provide some reassurance for me that would be greatly appreciated.

[@jaja2753]

Looking like a low end cat 2, high end cat 1. That is nothing for most places, especially gulf and south east coast. Just don't be stupid and sit on the beach and you will be fine. This guy seems pretty legit with giving facts unlike other media who only care about scaring you so you watch their videos or channel. Since this season has been a huge nothing burger when they told us it would be the worst ever they are hyping it up.

[@FlawdaFootball]

The media will try to make you panic but most Cat 3 and lower hurricanes aren't a huge deal if you don't live in flood zone or vulnerable property. If there is landfall in Tampa or north of there, West Palm too far away to get hurricane force winds, at most you'd get some outlying rain bands that rotate around the center of rotation.

[@Lisa14441]

As a native Floridian for the first time we are scared they are saying that we could be underwater with catastrophic storm surge

[@FlawdaFootball]

Media and social media hype and fearmongering. Lived here all my life and hurricane impacts are rarely as bad as feared and spur a lot of unnecessary evacuations by people who aren't under mandatory orders
