LIVE | Tracking Hurricane Milton: Latest forecast, spaghetti models, information, more

It has been over a week since the arrival of Helene and the tropics continue to stay active. Notably, Tropical Storm Milton recently intensified into a Hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico.
Hurricane Milton has prompted some whiplash, considering it is close to the region where Helene formed. However, currently, no impacts look to find their way to Central Georgia.
Alongside Milton, there are several named storms and areas of interest that we will break down. Here's what you need to know about the tropical developments we are keeping an eye on right now:
Hurricane Milton
As previously stated, Milton is our area of most relevance to the southwest as it formed in the southern Gulf of Mexico.
On Saturday the National Hurricane Center declared an area of interest in the Gulf Tropical Storm Milton, it is now a major hurricane.
Milton has intensified rapidly throughout Monday morning, and reached category 5 status before dropping back to a Category 4. It will make landfall somewhere on the western side of the Florida peninsula as a Category 3 storm.
The good news, however, is long-range models predict the southeast will see a cold front push down from the north throughout the beginning of next week. Right now this looks to push the tropical moisture farther down south and continues to keep any impacts from this possible tropical system out of central Georgia.
However, with the sensitivity of Helene lingering and this system getting close to us here in central Georgia, it will be something the 13WMAZ Weather Team will continue to update you on while we keep an eye on this storm as it begins to get closer to landfall.
As of right now, we look to only see increased cloud cover Wednesday and Thursday, and could see an increased rain chance of scattered showers if Milton makes landfall in the northern part of the cone
