While eyes are on Milton, new storm could form off Florida’s east coast
Mandatory evacuations are underway across the west coast of Florida as millions of residents prepare for life-threatening impacts from Hurricane Milton, which continues to rapidly intensify over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
While all eyes are on Florida’s western coast ahead of Hurricane Milton’s arrival, something could be brewing on the east side of the Peninsula.
The National Hurricane Center outlined an area for possible tropical development off the southeast coast of Florida.
The area currently has a low chance of tropical development over the next 48 hours, and timing will be critical to whether anything forms.

“Some additional development of this system is possible during the next day or so while the low moves northeastward to east-northeastward around 15 mph,” the NHC said Tuesday morning. “Upper-level winds are likely to increase later in the week, which should limit further development.”
If a tropical cyclone were to form, it would earn the name Nadine.
