Recent data from both NOAA and Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft 
indicate that Milton continues to rapidly strengthen.  The Air 
Force aircraft very recently reported a peak flight-level wind of 
120 kt, and dropsonde data show that the pressure has fallen to 
around 945 mb, which is down about 9 mb from a previous dropsonde 
report from the NOAA aircraft about an hour ago. This special 
advisory is being issued to increase the initial intensity to 
110 kt, and to increase the short term intensity forecast that now 
shows a peak wind speed of 135 kt in 24 hours.
