Ian is now considered a 'post-tropical cyclone'. This means it is starting to lose its tropical characteristics.

However, this does not mean it will not pose a threat.

Rounds of heavy rain and strong winds will continue for parts of the Carolinas, Virginias, and the East Coast through the weekend.
