As #Helene approach[s] the coast, do not get focused on wobbles in its track, "false" eye locations, or on specific computer model simulations.

EVERYONE along the Florida Big Bend coast is at risk of potentially catastrophic storm surge and damaging hurricane-force winds later this evening, and life-threatening storm surge is already increasing along the west coast of Florida.

follow hurricanes.gov and weather.gov/socialmedia for the latest forecast.

Vigilancia de Tornado ha sido emitida para partes de Florida y Georgia hasta las 10 PM EDT

This is concerning – a rare HIGH risk of flash flooding and excessive rainfall exists from the Panhandle of Florida through the #Atlanta metro and into the mountains of the Carolinas!

Flooding will be a very dangerous hazard tonight.

Helene to slam Georgia, S.C.

Hurricane Helene could sock much of Georgia and South Carolina with hurricane-force winds, which will cause widespread power outages and tree damage. In southern Georgia, a few gusts of 80 to 90 mph are possible. MyRadar meteorologist Matthew Cappucci has an update.

We have a fish swimming in the street in Sarasota. The rain that came down from the outer bands this morning is having trouble escaping to the Bay because of high tide and water levels coming up.

Hurricane #Helene from space is a sight to behold (with a 400 mi wide wind field)!

Landfall is expected around 9:00 PM EDT along the Big Bend of Florida.

We often talk about the "dirty" side of a tropical cyclone being on the right/east side.

Using the winds layer in the app, it's pretty easy to see how much more powerful the winds are on the eastern side of Hurricane #Helene.

The right side (particularly in the right-front quadrant) is where you often find the strongest winds and the threat of tornadoes.

#Helene 11AM Update:

Winds: 105 mph (Category 2)
Pressure: 960 mb
Movement: NE @ 14 mph
