OP here.

Milton has stayed remarkably intense, small and organized category 5 hurricane so far, with an incredibly small pinwheel eye and historically low barometric pressure (didn't go under 900mb last night, however, but did stints below 910mb, which is still record-breaking).

That may be starting to change with this eyewall replacement, currently underway. The predicted weakening, due to wind shear and dry air, is not perceptible yet, and we may not have as much weakening as we thought a few days ago. This also means Milton might stay smaller in size. Pros and cons to both scenarios: a small and powerful storm will kill and destroy everything in its path, but the path will be narrow. A large, less powerful storm will affect a larger area and create billions in damages, as well as threaten more lives with inland flooding.

There is still uncertainty as to track and time of landfall, but the surge damage is already locked in, due to Milton's churning of Gulf water for the past two days. There are multiple supercells forward of Milton, and there may be a tornado outbreak across southern Florida later today and into the night.[/quote]
