We're still a ways out - but some of the coldest air of the upcoming season looks to be on the way somewhere around the October 8-10 timeframe.

No guarantees at this point - but I wouldn't rule out the possibility of some mixed rain/snow showers during this time period.

[Weatherman G @WeathermanG20]

But it's just far too early to know at this point. Some models have the heaviest rainfall staying south of Albany. We'll see - we're talking early next week here.

This will be the last update for the night. Thanks for following along - great to be back! See ya' in the AM.

12:20 AM EST Hurricane Ian updates ...

* We're now down to a Cat 1 with sustained winds of 90 MPH.

* Still moving slowly NNE at 8 MPH.

* Storm is over the Orlando area now. Continues to weaken. I think it'll still make it back over the Atlantic as a Tropical Storm.

* There is some uncertainty on where it goes from there. As of now, it looks to hit the Carolinas as a Tropical Storm and then proceeds north.

* As far as the Capital Region is concerned, we'll see what happens. It's possible you'll see some breezy conditions and rain from this

[Weatherman G @WeathermanG20]

* Still moving slowly NNE at just 8 MPH. Will continue to weaken over land.

* The city of Orlando will see the worst of it within the next few hours.

* Once again - cell phone service is scarce in the affected areas. So it may take some time to reach family/friends.

10:05 PM EST Hurricane #Ian updates ....

* We're now at a Cat 2 with maximum sustained winds of 100 MPH.

* Nearly 2 million people without power, according to FPL (Florida Power & Light). That number will continue to grow.

Cont ....

[Weatherman G @WeathermanG20]

Of course, try to check on your family and friends in Florida. Just know that cell service in the affected areas could be scarce.

[Weatherman G @WeathermanG20]

* Multiple reports of wind gusts of 130+ MPH earlier today.

* Storm is headed toward Orlando now. Long night ahead.

* Unfortunately, you'll see some photos and videos of catastrophic flood and wind damage tomorrow.

[Weatherman G @WeathermanG20]

7:35 PM EST Hurricane Ian updates ....

* Now a Cat 3 with winds of 125 MPH.

* Slowly moving NNE at only 8 MPH.

* 1.7 million currently without power. That number will continue to rise. Will probably come close to doubling it when this is all said and done.

Cont ....

Is that what I think it is covering the microphone?! 👀🤣

Sometimes while covering a Hurricane, you have to use what you have I guess!

[Weatherman G @WeathermanG20]

We are! Thanks so much for asking.

[🐝 @One_Fry_Short]

@WeathermanG20 You guys ok down there in Florida?! 🥺😳

[Weatherman G @WeathermanG20]

Hurricane #Ian updates ....

* Landfall was made at 3:05 EST as a Cat 4 with 155 MPH winds.

* Over one million without power. That number continues to grow.

* Catastrophic flooding and wind damage.

* Punta Gorda, Fort Myers, and surrounding areas are being hit the hardest.

[Weatherman G @WeathermanG20]

I'll talk to ya' tomorrow. Feel free to send in any reports, photos, etc. Just be safe. Have an awesome night!

[Weatherman G @WeathermanG20]

Just know that it's extremely difficult to try and pinpoint exactly where these clusters are going to pop and when. Just keep an eye on your radar apps tomorrow. I use RadarScope. It's been a long time since I've downloaded it but I think it's a one time fee of $9.99.

[Weatherman G @WeathermanG20]

Additionally, some showers and embedded t-storms may linger into the late evening hours. The main threats are damaging wind gusts, heavy rain, small hail, and cloud to ground lightning.

[Weatherman G @WeathermanG20]

It's the afternoon and evening hours where there will be more widespread t-storm coverage, with clusters of them popping up at any point after 12 PM. The 18Z 3km NAM is quite impressive in showing strong to possibly severe t-storms in the immediate Capital Region between 2-4 PM.

[Weatherman G @WeathermanG20]

Happy Monday Capital Region! Quick heads up on the timing of the t-storms tomorrow.

Some of you (mainly north of I-90) may be dealing with some showers and thunderstorms during the early morning hours tomorrow. Thinking those will be fairly scattered though.
