Milton weakened overnight to a Category 4 hurricane.
The storm is an "extremely dangerous" threat as it churns near the Yucatan Peninsula, barreling toward Florida's Gulf Coast this AM, with landfall impacts expected on Wednseday night or early Thursday morning.
The latest storm data shows Milton is completing an eyewall replacement cycle.
According to the National Hurricane Center's 0500 ET update, Milton was downgraded from a Cat.
NHC's peak storm surge forecast shows Milton could generate a wall of water as high as 15 feet across Tampa Bay, Sarasota, and Venice.
Computer models are shifting south with landfall impacts from Sarasota to Port Charlotte instead of the initial forecasts for Tampa.
