SUMMARY: Hurricane Milton is bringing heavy rain and flash flooding to North Central Florida, affecting areas from Tampa to Jacksonville Beach. The tropical moisture will elevate rainfall rates and increase flash flood risks. Winds are expected to reach tropical storm force in Jacksonville, despite the hurricane tracking south. This southward movement will result in onshore winds, raising the risk of storm surge flooding, with potential levels of 3 to 5 feet on the beach and 2 to 4 feet on the St. Johns River. The airport remains open, and locals are advised to stay safe and hunker down during the storm.

The Weather Channel Meteorologist Jen Carfagno reports from Jacksonville, Florida where she said the rain has already begun in advance of Hurricane Milton throughout a lot of north central Florida, and that includes from Tampa over to the Jacksonville Beach area.

SUMMARY: Due to rain, many high school games have been rescheduled, but some are still taking place, including a Class 1A Region 4 matchup in Chickasaw County, where Jason Williams reports live from Okalona High School. The Vman Rams, undefeated at 2-0, face the Okalona Chiefs, currently 1-1 in division play. If Vman wins, they secure the top seed in the playoffs, while Okalona needs to win by at least 12 points to impact the seeding. The outcomes could lead to a point differential determining the remaining seeds. Highlights and the “Giant of the Week” winner will be featured later.
