Hurricane Helene continues to batter Florida and will make its way into Georgia, where it is forecast to retain at least tropical storm strength. Helene is expected to bring 6 to 12 inches of rain into portions of the southeastern U.S. during the next few days, and flash flooding and mudslides are possible. It will be some time before there’s an assessment of Helene’s storm surge damage in the Big Bend region of Florida.
Elsewhere, the low in the northern Atlantic became Tropical Storm Isaac late Wednesday night. Isaac had maximum sustained winds of 50 miles per hour at midday on Thursday. While it is expected to strengthen, its track should keep it in the open ocean at least until it becomes a post-tropical system by the middle of next week. And the area of low pressure that’s now in the central Atlantic is on the verge of becoming a depression. This feature is also forecast to remain in the open waters of the Atlantic.
