Milton was upgraded to a category 5 hurricane Monday by the National Hurricane Center, packing winds of 150 miles an hour as it moved east-southeast with a turn to the northeast expected by Tuesday. Milton is forecast to be a major hurricane as it approaches landfall near Tampa, Florida on Wednesday.
