There is high confidence that Milton will remain a very dangerous hurricane when it reaches Florida, and maintain hurricane status as it moves across the state.
Maximum sustained winds are near 155 mph with higher gusts. Milton is expected to remain an extremely
dangerous major hurricane when it reaches the west central coast of Florida tonight.
A High Risk of Excessive Rainfall has been issued for parts of the central/northern FL Peninsula beginning tomorrow (Wednesday). Inland and coastal flooding may combine to increase the overall flood threat and produce the risk of life-threatening flash flooding.
Milton’s eye is currently 7 miles wide!
