Tropics Update: Helene brews in the Caribbean, Hurricane Warnings in effect for Florida

Tropical Storm Helene is currently located in an ideal environment for rapid intensification and is forecast to become a major hurricane (at least a Category 3) before approaching the Big Bend area of Florida later this week. The National Hurricane Center believes that this storm will make landfall on Thursday.

Residents in the Deep South, especially Florida and Georgia, should continue to keep a close eye on this system as life-threatening storm surge, hurricane-force winds, and spin-up tornadoes are possible starting on Wednesday.
