Fox News Media’s free streaming climate channel Fox Weather will present non-stop coverage of Hurricane Milton’s anticipated landfall along the Florida coast on Wednesday.
The coverage will start Wednesday morning and continue through at least Friday evening, the network said in a statement this week. Milton is expected to make landfall along Florida’s western coast on Wednesday, and has evolved into a Category 5 storm, making it the strongest hurricane to threaten the United States since 2019.
The storm has triggered mass evacuation orders in western Florida. Forecasters have issued a Hurricane Watch that covers most of the state and extends as far inland as Orlando. Local officials have declared a state of emergency, and several airports have announced plans to suspend their operations.
Fox Weather storm specialist Mike Seidel will report from Madeira Beach on Monday before moving to St. Petersburg on Tuesday. Correspondent Robert Ray will report from Fort Myers over those two days.
Meteorologists Britta Merwin and Steve Bender are headed to Sarasota, while Bob Van Dillen is en route to Tampa Bay. The network is also sending Haley Meier to Daytona Beach. Crews may reposition depending on where the storm is expected to make landfall and for safety purposes, similar to how the network covered Hurricane Helene in the same region last month.
Hurricane specialist Bryan Norcorss will provide continuous updates from Fox Weather’s headquarters in New York City, and coverage will involve a rotating set of anchors that include Michael Estime, Craig Herrera, Ari Sarsalari, Ian Oliver and Kiyana Lewis.
Fox Weather is available as a free streaming channel on a number of leading platforms, including YouTube, Tubi, Pluto TV, The Roku Channel and Xumo Play. The channel is also available on premium TV services like Verizon Fios, Fubo and DirecTV Stream, and simulcasts on digital sub-channels of Fox-owned broadcast TV stations in most major markets like Tampa Bay, Orlando, Atlanta, New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago and San Francisco.
Fox Weather is also available as a free streaming audio channel on TuneIn, and the free Fox Weather app for phones and tablets includes up-to-the-minute forecasts along with the streaming TV channel.
Fox Weather will simulcast its storm coverage on the Fox Business Network on Thursday from 4 a.m. to 6 a.m. Eastern Time.
