Hurricane Milton strengthened into a Category 2 storm on Monday morning as it churned toward Florida, where it's expected to make landfall along the west coast on Wednesday. According to the 5 a.m. advisory from the National Hurricane Center, Milton has maximum sustained winds of 100 mph and is moving east-southeast at 8 mph. Milton is expected to strengthen into a major hurricane on Monday, then further intensify to a Category 4 hurricane in the central Gulf of Mexico and weaken just slightly before making landfall as it encounters more wind shear.
