SUMMARY: ABC Action News chief meteorologist Dennis Phillips reports that Hurricane Milton is rapidly intensifying, potentially becoming a Category 4 or even Category 5 storm within 24 hours. While it may weaken due to significant shear as it approaches Florida, it could still make landfall as a Category 2 or minimal Category 3 hurricane. The storm is expected to generate powerful surge and extreme winds, mainly affecting areas south of landfall. Exact impact locations remain uncertain due to varying model predictions. Polk County will experience hurricane-force winds late Wednesday into Thursday, with potential surge exceeding 10 feet near landfall.
