Hurricane Milton is moving more quickly towards the Florida Gulf coast late Wednesday morning. Its outermost bands have already spawned a few tornadoes in central and southern Florida.
At 11 am, Milton was about 190 miles southwest of Tampa and 160 miles west-southwest of Ft. Myers. Maximum sustained winds were 145 miles per hour, making Milton a dangerous category 4 hurricane. Milton was moving northeast at 17 miles per hour.
There’s a tropical storm warning for all of South Florida, but the worst sustained weather will be along the Gulf coast. The Naples area can expect tropical storm conditions with hurricane force gusts later on Wednesday. Storm surge of 5 to 8 feet is possible in the Naples area. The east coast metro area can expect tropical storm force gusts and possibly additional isolated tornadoes, especially overnight as outer bands from Milton move through.
