https://www.local10.com/weather/hurricane/2024/10/05/forecast-ratchet-up-putting-florida-peninsula-on-alert-for-possible-hurricane-threat/

Tropical Depression 14 formed late Saturday morning off the coast of Mexico over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. Forecasts from the National Hurricane Center call for steady strengthening into Tropical Storm Milton followed by rapid strengthening into a hurricane by Monday.
Although the official forecast takes Milton to a Category 2 hurricane before landfall, NHC noted upward adjustments to the intensity forecast could be required, and a Category 3 or stronger hurricane threat can’t be ruled out before Milton reaches Florida’s west coast by the middle part of next week.
