Happening NOW: We’re tracking Hurricane Milton that is intensifying while it moves across the Gulf of Mexico. The storm has been rapidly gaining strength through Monday, going from a Cat. 2 to a Cat. 5 storm with 160 mph winds.
Milton is forecasted to make landfall as Category 3 on Wednesday, but despite its category, it will have devastating impacts across the Florida Peninsula.
After Milton moves over Florida, it will track into the Atlantic, potentially impacting Bermuda by the weekend.
Heavy rainfall is already expected ahead of any development bringing more risk to areas that were already hit hard by Hurricane Helene.
We’ll continue to track the risk of flash flooding, life-threatening storm surges and damaging winds across the Florida Peninsula.
There are two other storms in the Atlantic Basin that will bring no impacts at this time to the United States.
