According to the National Hurricane Center, Hurricane Ike, now a Category 4 storm, is "extremely dangerous." As the hurricane treks across the Bahamas today and continues on to Cuba, forecasters are warning all south Florida residents to monitor the progress of Hurricane Ike - particularly the Florida Keys.
Current forecast models show Ike striking the entire length of Cuba and then exiting north of the Florida Keys where eventual landfall is still anyone's guess. Other models show Ike continuing on to make landfall near the Texas-Mexico border. Ike's final path won't become more clear until next week Tuesday or Wednesday.
Boaters in south Florida should be aware that Hurricane Ike is likely to cause large offshore swells and dangerous rip currents along the coast.
