The National Hurricane Center said a disturbance in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico became the latest tropical storm as it drifts toward the Florida coast.
Tropical Storm Milton formed on Saturday from a broad area of low pressure with scattered bands of thunderstorms. The National Hurricane Center said the system is expected to become better organized in the coming days, potentially becoming a hurricane by Monday.
The National Hurricane Center said it expects the system could be near major hurricane strength when it approaches Florida by midweek.
The system could strike a storm-weary region still cleaning up from the damage left by Hurricane Helene.
