Tropical Storm Milton formed in the Gulf of Mexico on Saturday afternoon with the risk of "life-threatening impacts" to Florida's west coast, according to the National Hurricane Center, just nine days after Hurricane Helene struck the state.

The disorganized shower and thunderstorm low pressure system lingering in the Gulf of Mexico doesn’t seem to be dissipating anytime soon.

Tropical Depression 14 is now our latest named storm, Milton, headed east in the Gulf. We are closely tracking Milton as quite a few models have us within the cone of uncertainty. So far, biggest impacts seem to be rain, but the heavier downpours will remain in Florida. Milton is expected to impact west Florida by midweek.
