Miami, FL – Hurricane Milton continues to strengthen in the Gulf of Mexico, with life-threatening storm surges and damaging winds forecasted for Florida. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) warns that Milton will make landfall by Wednesday. Heavy rain, flash flooding, and severe winds are expected along the central Gulf Coast.
According to NHC, Florida’s southern peninsula could see flash flooding starting Tuesday due to tropical moisture and instability along a frontal boundary. Urban areas in South Florida face a moderate risk for excessive rainfall. Flash flooding is possible across the central Atlantic coast, with risks expected to escalate as Milton moves closer.
In addition to flood concerns, Florida’s coastal regions should prepare for a storm surge that could damage property and endanger lives. Residents are urged to follow local evacuation orders and consult the NHC for updates.
