Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is scheduled to hold a news conference Saturday regarding Hurricane Ian. The briefing is scheduled to start at 1:45 p.m.

Hurricane Ian made landfall on the Southwest Florida coast Wednesday where torrential storm surge and rain left behind a trail of destruction across the state.

Now a post-tropical cyclone, Ian's maximum sustained winds decreased to near 35 mph over the waters east of North Carolina and Virginia. Additional weakening is expected, and Ian is forecast to dissipate over south-central Virginia by tonight, according to the National Hurricane Center.
