Multiple tornado warnings were already issued Wednesday morning, and this threat is expected to continue throughout the day and into the night. As Milton's rainbands move inland, supercell thunderstorms are likely to form, capable of producing strong tornadoes, including those rated EF-2 or higher.

Milton, a Category 4 hurricane as of Wednesday morning, will make landfall along Florida's central west coast late Wednesday evening or early Thursday morning, the National Hurricane Center said. Faced with the threat of catastrophic storm surges and gale-force winds, millions of residents in Milton's catchment area have been urged to evacuate immediately as time is running out.

There are no immediate reports of injuries or damage at this time. The FOX Forecast Center said this type of severe weather is a common threat when tropical systems make landfall.

Milton is poised to become one of the most devastating hurricanes in U.S. history. Although it is expected to weaken slightly before making landfall, it will still make landfall as a strong Category 3 storm and cause widespread destruction, the FOX Forecast Center said.

Storm surge associated with Milton is expected to be life-threatening and catastrophic, particularly along and south of the storm's track. Additionally, the hurricane's strong winds will cause significant damage as the eyewall moves through the state. Power outages are common and can last for days or even weeks.
