On Wednesday morning, Hurricane Milton weakened slightly over the Gulf of Mexico, with winds now reaching 155 mph, as reported by the National Hurricane Center. This places the hurricane just 2 mph below the Category 5 threshold, indicating its continued strength and potential impact.
Despite the slight weakening, Milton is expected to remain a formidable major hurricane as it approaches landfall in Florida overnight tonight. The National Hurricane Center forecasts that the storm will continue to lose some strength throughout the day, but it is still anticipated to make a significant impact upon reaching the coast.
