Hurricane Milton is approaching the Tampa Bay area as a CAT3 storm with 120mph winds moving NE at 17mph. Looking at the satellite and radar, you see the storm is "top heavy" as some drier air is wrapping into the southeastern flank.

Hurricane Milton is approaching the Tampa Bay area as a CAT3 storm with 120mph winds moving NE at 17mph.
