If Ian hangs out like forecasted, he’ll be there at all tides
Just watched updates on WESH...they're talking about possible effects lingering...on Friday.

We now know that Matthew never came ashore. We did not know that in the days leading up to its approach.
Correct. This storm has many similarities to Charley.
Yes, we obviously knew during the storm where the storm was. My point was that two days out we did not know that the eye would not make landfall.That's not exactly correct. It was reported during the storm that the eye never made landfall.
Can anyone confirm current Skyliner operating status? Test Track is back open, so appears to be a localized storm for the closure earlier this evening.

I was wrong. It reopened.Disney just closed TT and is offering "alternative experiences" that don't include GOTG, Rat, or Frozen. It may be a while until it reopens. I predict Saturday at the earliest.
Hurricane. But it re-opened tonight. I'm in the LL queue right now. It's only a matter of time because of the outside loop.What makes you think it will be closed that long?
There was lightning near Epcot this evening. They cut short the early showing of the Food and Wine musical performance tonight.Can anyone confirm current Skyliner operating status? Test Track is back open, so appears to be a localized storm for the closure earlier this evening.
Grew up in Sanford when Charley hit. First and only time I've ever been in the eye of a hurricane. In fact it was Charley that lead me on the path to become a meteorologist. Ian is very much giving me Charley vibes. The storm has been consistently to the right of the forecast path and the models have been adjusting accordingly. I would expect the NHC to make further adjustments east on the next advisory. Everyone in Central Florida should be preparing for hurricane conditions.Matthew never came ashore.
Longtime Orlando residents are talking about Ian like they did about Charley in 2004. Ian is taking a similar path.

Hurricane hunters recently placed the eye of the storm about 40 miles east of the previous forecast track. The NHC doesn't update the forecast track at intermediate advisories like the 8PM one above, but they will for the 11PM tonight. I don't envy the NHC's job. A shift to the right would put Tampa and Central Florida in a much more precarious situation than the current cone. But given current trends and new model data, they may have no other choice.
The Orlando area is still more than a full day away from starting to feel anything serious from this storm.
I sit between where the storm is and where it is projected to go (on the coast) and there is no rain or wind here at all so what is over Disney is just a typical localized thunderstorm right now.
If it goes far enough east then hopefully it won’t push as much water into the bay. The biggest worry for me is the storm surge.Hurricane hunters recently placed the eye of the storm about 40 miles east of the previous forecast track.
