Other coastal areas of western Florida will receive an accumulated 3 to 10 feet of rain and a few tornadoes are possible over central and southern Florida starting tonight and continuing into Wednesday night.

Additionally, the storm surge will raise water levels up to 4 to 6 feet above ground level along the northern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in areas with onshore winds. Near the coast, the storm surge will be accompanied by large, destructive waves.

The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the coast, according to the weather agency.

HELENE’S SHADOW IS STILL FELT IN FLORIDA

Since 1850, only two storms originating in the Bay of Campeche in the Gulf of Mexico have impacted Florida. If Milton continues his current trajectory, it would be the third.

Less than two weeks have passed since Helene made landfall Sept. 26 along Florida’s Big Bend coast after rampaging northward across the Gulf, causing a dozen deaths in Pinellas County and damaging or destroying homes and businesses along the Tampa Bay area peninsula.

25 Helene-related deaths have been reported in Florida, while at least 234 people in six states have died as a result of the storm.
