   Milton now has attained Hurricane status with wind speeds of 80 mph.

   Current forecast for wind speeds before landfall is 125 mph, which will likely be revised upwards. The track forecast has not changed much.

   "Given the track over the very deep warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and little shear for the next couple of days, rapid intensification is explicitly forecast, and the new NHC prediction could still be conservative ..."
