Hurricane Helene is expected to make landfall Thursday evening on Florida’s northwestern coast, bringing heavy rain, flash floods, and gusty winds. The storm is forecasted to continue its path through Georgia, the Carolinas, and Tennessee, potentially causing severe weather conditions across the southeastern United States.
The National Weather Service warns that Helene's fast forward speed may result in strong, damaging winds penetrating well inland, including the southern Appalachian Mountains. Tropical storm warnings have been issued as far north as North Carolina.
