We’re finishing off our weekend with mainly quiet skies and mild temperatures.

The beginning of our work week, however, will be quite unsettled as we continue to track tropical storm Ian.

The system is set to impact the Cayman Islands and Cuba in the next 48 hours before continuing to track north into the warm waters of the SE Gulf.

In the time, tropical moisture will be working into South Florida, bringing the potential for excessive rainfall and flooding through at least Wednesday.

Rainfall totals are expected to be between 2 to 4 inches with isolated amounts of up to 6 inches.

Additionally, squally weather of the outer rain bands of what will then likely be hurricane Ian will bring the potential for gusty tropical storm force winds as well as the possibility of isolated tornadoes through midweek.

With the current forecast track, rain chances eventually dial back as the system moves farther north.
