Hurricane Milton has intensified this morning, expanding in size as its strength fluctuates. The larger the hurricane grows, the wider its damaging winds will reach, posing a significant threat to Florida.
Initially, Milton's tropical storm-force winds extended about 80 miles from its center on Monday. However, as of this morning, the wind field has expanded to just over 100 miles. While Milton remains relatively compact, the National Hurricane Center predicts that its wind field will continue to grow as it approaches Florida.
