Recent updates from United States weather radars have revealed the eye of Hurricane Helene as it approaches the Florida coast. The Tampa area weather radar was the first to detect Helene's rain-free center, known as the eye, during the early afternoon hours.
Located just under 200 miles away from the radar, the center of the hurricane is within range of the radar's capabilities, although it can only capture high levels of the system due to the curvature of the Earth. The radar beam is currently focused on the center of Helene, which is situated more than 20,000 feet above ground level.
