Hurricane Milton live forecast: Meteorologist tracking catastrophic Florida impacts

Category 5 Hurricane Milton is a threat to Florida unlike any this storm-tested state has ever faced.

With a little more than a day before landfall, meteorologist Dr. Ryan Truchelut of WeatherTiger broke down Milton's latest track and expected catastrophic impacts to cities throughout Florida in a live video forecast at 9 p.m. Tuesday.

"Milton will combine a generational surge threat to west-central Florida with widespread wind impacts and a long tail of elevated river and flash flood potential," Truchelut wrote in his Tuesday afternoon forecast.

Truchelut went live on webpages and Facebook pages throughout the USA TODAY NETWORK - Florida, including the Tallahassee Democrat , Gainesville Sun , Lakeland Ledger , Ocala StarBanner , Sarasota Herald-Tribune , Florida Today , TCPalm , Fort Myers News-Press , and Naples Daily News .

Truchelut will be back with live updates and alerts Wednesday afternoon and be with readers till the storm's landfall late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning.
