SUMMARY: South Mississippi meteorologist Taylor Graham reports on Tropical Storm Milton, which developed earlier and is expected to strengthen significantly, potentially making landfall as a major hurricane on Florida’s west coast by Wednesday. Fortunately, Milton poses no threat to South Mississippi. The region will experience pleasant weather with low rain chances over the next week, highlighted by a cold front arriving Tuesday, bringing drier air and lower humidity, perfect for the Cruising the Coast event. While areas of Florida prepare for heavy rainfall and winds, South Mississippi looks forward to nice temperatures in the mid-80s and refreshing mornings.
