SUMMARY: Hurricane Milton is rapidly intensifying, now a Category 5 storm expected to make landfall in Florida late Wednesday. In preparation, Governor Abbott is sending resources to Florida and Tennessee, as communities recover from Hurricane Helen. Residents along Florida’s Gulf Coast are evacuating, filling sandbags, and securing their properties. Officials emphasize the urgency of evacuation orders due to the high risk of dangerous storm surges and power outages. Milton’s winds are currently at 180 mph and may cause severe impacts in regions like Tampa and Orlando. Meanwhile, recovery efforts continue in North Carolina following damage from Hurricane Helen.

Hurricane Milton has reached Category 5 status as it moves toward Florida. Several communities in Florida are beginning to evacuate as the powerful hurricane is expected to make landfall this week.

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.
