Helene has been downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone by the National Hurricane Center, with winds now at 35 mph. This change indicates that Helene no longer possesses a well-defined center of circulation and is losing its characteristics of a hurricane.
Despite this change in classification, the overall impact of Helene remains significant. The storm is expected to bring heavy rainfall and strong winds across a vast area of the East Coast tonight, leading to potential flooding and hazardous conditions.
