Although Miami-Dade County is outside the forecast cone for Hurricane Milton, conditions across South Florida are expected to worsen this week.

Forecasters say Milton is expected to be a hurricane small in size, but Jacksonville will still be impacted with rain, flooding and high winds.

MIAMI (AP) — A storm system that was brewing in the Gulf of Mexico strengthened into Tropical Storm Milton on Saturday, and forecasters warned that it could intensify into a hurricane and slam into the west coast of Florida next week.
