Tropical Storm Milton is an active tropical cyclone in the Bay of Campeche currently approaching Florida. The thirteenth named storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, Milton formed from a long-tracked tropical disturbance in the western Caribbean Sea on October 5. The storm is expected to impact Florida less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene devastated the Florida Panhandle.[1]

Unknown
Extratropical cyclone, remnant low, tropical disturbance, or monsoon depressionAn area of investigation in the western Caribbean Sea was noted by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) on September 26.[2] As gradual development ensued, a broad low then formed in the western Caribbean which produced disorganized showers and thunderstorms,[3] before degenerating into an open trough two days later.[4] The disturbance then interacted with the remnants of Tropical Depression Eleven-E in the Eastern Pacific Ocean and a stationary front,[5] and consolidated in the Bay of Campeche. By October 4,[6] it showed more signs of development, thus becoming designated as an invest. The next day, as associated showers and thunderstorms organized further,[7] and it was designated by the NHC into Tropical Depression Fourteen.[8] A few hours later, it was further upgraded into Tropical Storm Milton.[9]
