A Gulf of Mexico tropical storm could turn into a powerful hurricane and slam Florida as the southeastern United States continues to recover from the havoc wreaked by Hurricane Helene just days ago.
Tropical Storm Milton, which formed Saturday morning, could begin to impact the continental U.S. next week.
“There is an increasing risk of life-threatening storm surge and wind impacts for portions of the west coast of the Florida Peninsula beginning late Tuesday or Wednesday,” the National Hurricane Center wrote in an advisory on the storm.
