University of Florida officials are monitoring Hurricane Ian. Here is what we know today:
The National Hurricane Center canceled all hurricane and tropical storm watches and warnings for the Florida peninsula as Hurricane Ian continued to move north on Friday toward South Carolina.
Forecasters expect for some gusty winds to continue across North Central and Northeast Florida, and gradually decrease as the day continues. As Hurricane Ian moves away from Florida, cloud cover will decrease as well, leaving mainly clear skies through the weekend.
