SUMMARY: Mandatory evacuations in Florida will begin tomorrow as Hurricane Milton approaches, expected to make landfall near Tampa Bay midweek. The area is still recovering from Hurricane Helen, which caused significant storm surge and wind damage. Pasco Emergency Management director Andy FAA urges residents to heed evacuation warnings, emphasizing it’s crucial to act now due to hazardous debris and impending storm conditions. Milton is currently a Category 1 hurricane but could intensify to a Category 4, bringing 3 to 9 feet of storm surge. Authorities are ramping up debris removal efforts and preparing for potential rescues during the storm.

Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall in Florida later this week. Evacuation orders are expected to be issued on Monday.

SUMMARY: Meteorologist Kim Castro warns of weather impact on Christmas Eve due to storms from 8 PM to 2 AM. While the severe weather potential is low (level one), isolated storms could produce hail and gusty winds, affecting Harris County and much of Southeast Texas. Rainfall may reach 1-2 inches, with isolated areas potentially experiencing localized flooding. A shift in high pressure and an incoming front are contributing to these conditions. For safe travel, consider adjusting plans to avoid late-night driving. Christmas Day will be quieter with only early morning showers expected before clear skies in the afternoon. More rain is forecasted later in the week.

The KHOU 11 Weather Team is keeping an eye on two different fronts heading to Southeast Texas.
