As Florida and the Tampa Bay area continue to recover in Hurricane Helene's wake, we're keeping an eye on what's going on in the tropics.

Tropical Storm Milton has formed in the Gulf and is expected to quickly intensify and be at Category 3 hurricane strength when it reaches the west coast of Florida, according to the National Hurricane Center's latest advisory.

Florida could see impacts beginning late Tuesday into Wednesday.

The storm is about 245 miles north-northeast of Veracruz, Mexico with maximum sustained winds at 40 mph.

This weekend we are just concerned about the rain.

A wave of moisture ahead of a developing system will bring tropical downpours to the region beginning on Sunday. Although this won't be a washout of a day, times of heavy rain dumped over localized areas could lead to flash flooding.

With a front sinking in from the north, the areas prone to seeing most of the rain will exist along and south of I-4. Coastal areas should pay close attention to the forecast and have a way to receive alerts in case a flash flood warning were to be issued. Anticipated rainfall from Sunday night to Wednesday will range from 3" - 6" with higher totals possible in isolated spots.

If we're voting, I'll take the spaghetti strand labeled TABS.
Thank you!

No matter where it hits in Florida, it will keep insurance rates high for the whole state. High insurance rates are bad for real estate prices.
