TRACKING MILTON

Milton has become a Category 5 hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico on a path toward Florida’s west coast. Milton’s growth Monday sets the stage for a dangerous storm surge in Tampa Bay and potential mass evacuations less than two weeks after a catastrophic Hurricane Helene swamped the coastline. Milton’s center could come ashore Wednesday in the Tampa area, and it could remain a hurricane as it moves across central Florida toward the Atlantic Ocean.

Hurricane Milton is not expected to affect the Connecticut, New Jersey and New York region.

Get ready for beautiful weather on Long Island this week, with lots of sunshine. It will turn seasonably chilly later in the week when temperatures at night fall into the 40s.

The weekend will warm up with above normal temperatures. Right now, the weekend looks nice, with a small chance for showers late Sunday night into Monday morning.

Hurricane Milton heads toward Florida. The storm is expected to make landfall Wednesday night and move into the Atlantic south of Long Island Thursday to Friday. The only impact we will experience is some South Shore surf.
