 DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK<br />
 ----------------------<br />
 At 400 AM CDT (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Milton was located<br />
 near latitude 22.3 North, longitude 88.9 West. Milton is moving<br />
 toward the east-northeast near 12 mph (19 km/h). A turn toward the<br />
 east-northeast and northeast is expected today and Wednesday.  On<br />
 the forecast track, the center of Milton is forecast to move just<br />
 north of the Yucatan Peninsula today and approach the west coast of<br />
 the Florida Peninsula on Wednesday.  The hurricane is forecast to<br />
 make landfall in Florida Wednesday night.<br />
  <br />
 Maximum sustained winds are near 155 mph (250 km/h) with higher<br />
 gusts.  Milton is an extremely dangerous category 4 hurricane on<br />
 the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.  While fluctuations in<br />
 intensity are expected, Milton is forecast to remain an extremely<br />
 dangerous hurricane through landfall in Florida.<br />
  <br />
 Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from the<br />
 center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles<br />
 (165 km).<br />
  <br />
 The estimated minimum central pressure is 924 mb (27.29 inches).<br />
  <br />

 HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND<br />
 ----------------------<br />
 Key Messages for Milton can be found in the Tropical Cyclone<br />
 Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT4 and WMO header WTNT44 KNHC<br />
 and on the web at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT4.shtml<br />
  <br />
 STORM SURGE:  A storm surge will raise water levels by as much as 4<br />
 to 6 feet above ground level along the northern coast of the<br />
 Yucatan Peninsula in areas of onshore winds.  Near the coast, the<br />
 surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves.<br />
  <br />
 The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the tide will cause<br />
 normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters<br />
 moving inland from the shoreline.  The water could reach the<br />
 following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if<br />
 the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...<br />
  <br />
 Anclote River, FL to Englewood, FL...10-15 ft<br />
 Tampa Bay...10-15 ft<br />
 Englewood, FL to Bonita Beach, FL...6-10 ft<br />
 Charlotte Harbor...6-10 ft<br />
 Yankeetown, FL to Anclote River, FL...5-10 ft<br />
 Bonita Beach, FL to Chokoloskee, FL...4-7 ft<br />
 Suwannee River, FL to Yankeetown, FL...3-5 ft<br />
 Chokoloskee, FL to Flamingo, FL...3-5 ft<br />
 Flagler/Volusia County Line, FL to Altamaha Sound, GA...3-5 ft<br />
 Sebastian Inlet, FL to Flagler/Volusia County Line, FL...2-4 ft<br />
 Altamaha Sound, GA to Edisto Beach, SC...2-4 ft<br />
 Dry Tortugas...2-4 ft<br />
 St. Johns River...2-4 ft<br />
  <br />
 The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and to<br />
 the south of the landfall location, where the surge will be<br />
 accompanied by large and dangerous waves.  Surge-related flooding<br />
 depends on the relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle,<br />
 and can vary greatly over short distances.  For information<br />
 specific to your area, please see products issued by your local<br />
 National Weather Service forecast office.<br />

 inundation, please see the National Weather Service Peak Storm<br />
 Surge Graphic, available at<br />

  <br />
 RAINFALL: Rainfall amounts of 5 to 12 inches, with localized totals<br />
 up to 18 inches, are expected across central to northern portions of<br />
 the  Florida Peninsula through Thursday.  This rainfall brings the<br />
 risk of  life-threatening flash, urban and aerial  flooding along<br />
 with moderate to major river flooding.<br />
  <br />
 Milton will also produce rainfall totals 2 to 4 inches across the<br />
 Florida Keys through Thursday. In addition, rainfall amounts of  2<br />
 to 4 inches with isolated totals around 6 inches are expected across<br />
 northern portions of the Yucatan Peninsula.<br />

  <br />
 WIND:  Hurricane conditions are occurring in the warning area in<br />
 Mexico today.  Hurricane conditions are possible in the watch areas<br />
 in Mexico today, and tropical storm conditions are expected to <br />
 continue in tropical storm warning area today.<br />
  <br />
 Hurricane conditions are expected in the warning area on the west<br />
 coast of Florida as early as Wednesday afternoon, with tropical<br />
 storm conditions beginning early Wednesday.  Hurricane conditions<br />
 could begin along the east coast of Florida in the watch areas on<br />
 Wednesday night, with tropical storm conditions possible beginning<br />
 Wednesday afternoon.  Tropical storm conditions are expected in the<br />
 tropical storm warning areas in Florida beginning early Wednesday<br />
 and will spread northward through the day. Tropical storm conditions<br />
 are possible within the watch area on the east coast of Florida by<br />
 Wednesday night and along the Georgia and South Carolina coasts on<br />
 Thursday.<br />
  <br />
 TORNADOES: A few tornadoes are possible over central and southern <br />
 Florida beginning late tonight and continuing through Wednesday <br />
 night.<br />
  <br />
 SURF:  Swells generated by Milton are expected to continue to<br />
 affect much of the Gulf Coast within the next day or two, and are<br />
 likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.<br />
