Tropical Storm Milton track, models
SUMMARY: Over a week after Hurricane Helene caused extensive damage, the area is experiencing a welcome stretch of dry weather. Today and tomorrow will see plenty of sunshine with temperatures in the low to mid 80s before a cooldown arrives on Tuesday, bringing highs in the 70s and possible overnight lows in the 50s and 40s, especially in higher elevations. Although hurricane season continues, most tropical activity in the Atlantic poses no threat to the region. A system in the Gulf of Mexico may develop into a tropical storm but is expected to remain south of the Carolinas, allowing for continued pleasant weather locally.

Tropical Storm Milton has formed and is expected to become a hurricane.
