As of Tuesday morning, Miami-Dade County is not within the forecast cone for Hurricane Milton, which has weakened from a Category 5 to a Category 4 hurricane. However, forecasters caution that the exact track, intensity, and timing of the storm may change. The current forecast predicts that Milton will make landfall just south of Tampa Bay, with the cone of uncertainty extending from the Gulf Hammock Wildlife park south to Captiva Island. After landfall, the storm is expected to track parallel to Interstate 4, passing south of Orlando, and exiting the east coast near Cape Canaveral within the next 36 hours.
While the direct impact of Milton remains uncertain, parts of South Florida are still at risk of flash flooding, destructive winds, and potential tornadoes. Residents are advised to stay informed about the storm’s progress and be prepared to take necessary precautions. Stay updated on the latest developments and heed any evacuation orders or safety recommendations from local authorities. Further updates on Hurricane Milton’s path and potential impacts will continue to be provided as new information becomes available.
