..MILTON CONTINUES TO MOVE EASTWARD OVER THE ATLANTIC OCEAN  
 
...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER PARTS OF  
THE NORTHEASTERN FLORIDA PENINSULA...  
 
MILTON WILL BECOME EXTRA-TROPICAL BY THURSDAY EVENING WHILE MOVING  
EASTWARD OVER THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. WATER LEVELS FROM ONGOING  
FLOODING AND STORM SURGE WILL REMAIN ELEVATED AND DANGEROUS UNTIL  
THE WATER HAS RECEDED. AS ATTENTION TURNS TO RECOVERY EFFORTS, BE  
AWARE OF AREAS THAT REMAIN FLOODED AND DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH  
FLOODED ROADWAYS.  
 
RAIN, MODERATE TO HEAVY AT TIMES, WILL CONTINUE OVER THE  
NORTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE FLORIDA PENINSULA. THEREFORE, THE WPC  
HAS ISSUED A MARGINAL RISK (LEVEL 1/4) OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER  
PARTS OF THE NORTHEASTERN FLORIDA PENINSULA THROUGH FRIDAY  
MORNING. THE ASSOCIATED HEAVY RAIN WILL CREATE LOCALIZED AREAS OF  
FLASH FLOODING, AFFECTING AREAS THAT EXPERIENCE RAPID RUNOFF WITH  
HEAVY RAIN.  
 
MEANWHILE, AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE NORTHEAST WILL PRODUCE  
LIGHT RAIN OVER PARTS OF THE NORTHEAST THROUGH LATE THURSDAY  
NIGHT. MOREOVER, ANOTHER AREA OF UPPER-LEVEL ENERGY OVER PARTS OF  
THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL TRIGGER SCATTERED SHOWERS AND  
THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE REGION THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON. FURTHER,  
ON FRIDAY, EASTERLY FLOW OFF THE ATLANTIC WILL PRODUCE RAIN  
SHOWERS OVER PARTS OF THE FLORIDA PENINSULA THROUGH SATURDAY  
EVENING.  
 
A FRONT EXTENDING FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS TO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES  
AND THEN INTO THE NORTHERN INTERMOUNTAIN REGION WILL MOVE EASTWARD  
TO OFF THE NORTHEAST COAST BY SATURDAY EVENING WHILE EXTENDING  
WESTWARD ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY TO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. THE SYSTEM  
WILL PRODUCE SCATTERED LIGHT RAIN OVER PARTS OF THE UPPER GREAT  
LAKES LATE FRIDAY MORNING, ENDING BY FRIDAY NIGHT. AS THE BOUNDARY  
PUSHES INTO THE NORTHEAST, THE SYSTEM WILL CREATE LIGHT RAIN  
SHOWERS OVER PARTS OF THE NORTHEAST THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING.  
ADDITIONAL UPPER-LEVEL ENERGY WILL MOVE ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST  
ON SATURDAY MORNING AND WILL PRODUCE LIGHT RAIN OVER PARTS OF THE  
UPPER MIDWEST, EXTENDING INTO THE GREAT LAKES BY SATURDAY EVENING.  
 
FURTHERMORE, UPPER-LEVEL ENERGY MOVING ONSHORE OVER NORTHERN  
CALIFORNIA AND THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL TRIGGER RAIN OVER PARTS  
OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA FROM EARLY SATURDAY MORNING TO SATURDAY  
EVENING.
