Quote: Milton should be crossing the very warm loop current in the Gulf later today. That should fuel the beast.
Keep in mind that the water in the Bay of Campeche was THE warmest water in the GOM. It hadn't been mined by a storm since early in the season. However, the eastern GOM has been mined by several storms especially Helene just a week or so ago. So that water is warm but nowhere near as hot as what Milton was over the last 2 days!
Also, from the 11am NHC Discussion : "The track guidance is honed in on a landfall along the west-central coast of Florida sometime Wednesday night. However, it is critical to remember that even at 36-48 hours away, NHC's track forecasts can be off by an average of 60-70 n mi, which means we still can't pinpoint an exact landfall location, especially if the hurricane wobbles as it approaches the coast." 60-70 miles at 1.5-2 days is pretty good!
