Hurricane Helene continues to strengthen as is moves across the southeastern Gulf of Mexico.
) - Winds are now at 85 mph sustained, with significant strengthening possible. The National Hurricane Center is predicting the storm to reach Category Four strength prior to landfall. This is an unusually large hurricane in size. Significant winds will be expected near and well east of the center.
The hurricane is moving north at 12mph. A turn to the north-northeast is expected tonight and Thursday. An upper trough should keep Helene from directly affecting our area. Landfall is likely in the Florida Big Bend Region tomorrow evening. The core of the storm will pass over the warmest water in the Gulf. The high oceanic heat content will fuel intensification. The upper air environment and the absence of upper level wind shear will also support strengthening.
Locally, we expect rough surf and dangerous rip currents at our beaches. Rain chances are highest along the western Panhandle, especially in Santa Rosa and Oklaloosa Counties. We could see tropical storm conditions in those locations. Tides may be 1-2 feet above normal. Overall, our impacts will be minor in comparison to our neighbors to the east.Copyright 2024 WALA.
