Hurricane Helene Threat Looms
A tropical system forming in the northwestern Caribbean is gaining momentum, and both American and European weather models predict it will strengthen into a hurricane, likely named Helene, by the end of this week. This storm is projected to make landfall between Florida’s Panhandle and Tampa Bay, potentially as a Category 3 or 4 hurricane. Key concerns include dangerous storm surges and tornado risks for coastal regions, with warm waters in the Gulf of Mexico fueling the storm’s intensity. The Loop Current, a phenomenon known for intensifying hurricanes like Katrina, is also present in this area, heightening concerns.
Inland cities such as Tallahassee, Birmingham, Jacksonville, and Atlanta could also experience significant impacts if Helene reaches higher intensity levels.
