SUMMARY: A dry front will bring cooler air, but attention is on Hurricane Milton, a Category 2 storm in the Gulf with winds of 100 mph, moving east-southeast. It is forecasted to strengthen into a Category 4 hurricane, possibly making landfall just south of Tampa on Wednesday as a major Category 3 hurricane. While this storm may affect southern Florida, Atlanta is likely to remain unaffected. Meanwhile, Hurricane Leslie is a Category 1 storm with winds of 90 mph, moving northwest and expected to weaken as it drifts out to sea, presenting no threats other than to sailors.

11Alive Meteorologist Chesley McNeil provides a breakdown.

Milton strengthened to a category 2 hurricane this morning. It’s forecast to continue to rapidly intensify in the Gulf of Mexico over the next couple of days.

Milton will be fueled by the warm water of the Gulf which is in part why rapid strengthening will continue. It is forecast to become a major category 4 hurricane as it nears the Florida Gulf coast by Wednesday.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear Mark Meadows’ appeal to move his Georgia criminal case to federal court. Indicted by a Fulton County Grand Jury, Meadows faces charges of soliciting the violation of oath and conspiracy related to efforts to overturn election results, alongside 18 others, including Trump. Lower courts ruled against Meadows, stating he was not acting as a federal officer, and his actions did not pertain to his official duties. He has pleaded not guilty, and the case is currently on hold as an Appeals Court reviews claims regarding District Attorney Fani Willis’ potential conflict of interest.
