Tropical Storm Ian remains forecast to rapidly intensify and become a hurricane sometime Monday, according to the National Hurricane Center. Forecasters warn that Florida — especially the western Gulf coast, including Tampa Bay up to the Panhandle — should continue to monitor Ian's progress.

As of the 5 p.m. Sunday advisory, Tropical Storm Ian was located about 220 miles south-southeast of Grand Cayman, with sustained winds of 45 mph. Ian's movement is west-northwest at 12 mph.

The NOAA hurricane hunters surveillance jet earlier this morning found Tropical Storm Ian continuing to organize over the central Caribbean.
