A rapidly-intensifying #Helene will make landfall along the Florida Gulf Coast on Thursday.

Life-threatening storm surge, severe and perhaps devastating winds, flooding rains and tornadoes are likely.

Meteorologist Matthew Cappucci has an update on landfall.

Hurricane #Helene will rapidly intensify in the Gulf of Mexico. While impacts at the coast will be devastating, severe wind gusts, flooding rains and tornadoes are possible inland as well.

MyRadar senior meteorologist Matthew Cappucci breaks down the inland impacts.

Hurricane Helene set to form this week | Tropical Update

The peak of hurricane season is here with a developing hurricane set to impact parts of Florida and the Gulf Coast into midweek. Meteorologist Mike Linden is LIVE timing out impacts.

Major hurricane risk for Florida

A developing hurricane, which will be named Helene, could rapidly intensify in the Gulf of Mexico. The risk is increasing for a major hurricane, and direct impacts are likely in Florida. MyRadar meteorologist Matthew Cappucci has an update.

Potential TC 9 is forecast to become a major (Category 3) #hurricane before approaching the northeastern Gulf Coast. Since 2000, 8 major (Category 3+) hurricanes have made Florida landfall:

2004: Charley, Jeanne
2005: Dennis, Wilma
2017: Irma
2018: Michael
2022: Ian
2023: Idalia

Would you like a more in-depth discussion of what exactly this Soon-To-Be-Helene could do to impact parts of Florida and the Gulf Coast into midweek?

Helene will very likely undergo rapid intensification.

It could go from a tropical storm to a Category 3+ in barely 2 days.

Spreading of the air aloft (which sucks up warm, moist air from below) AND record high "hurricane fuel," or oceanic heat content, will make Helene mean.

There exists a very real chance that Florida gets hit by a major hurricane later this week.

You have 48 hours to prepare until impacts begin. Use them wisely.

Landfall is likely on Thursday. If you're in the yellow, be ready to take action. If in the orange, prepare NOW.

Riesgo de huracán sobre el Caribe y Florida esta semana

PTC 9 o lo que pronto será tormenta tropical Helene se está organizando más y se esperan impactos sobre México y Cuba mañana. Después, llegará sobre la Florida como un huracán potencialmente fuerte.  La meteoróloga Erica Lopez informa.

Hamster Note (from 6 hours ago)
Florida needs to start preparing NOW for a likely rapidly-intensifying hurricane.

Soon-to-be-Helene could bring a destructive impact to Florida where it hits if current indications are correct.

We’ll await a first stab from NHC today.

Ensemble models show landfall from Louisiana to near Tampa by Thursday/Friday.

Once a center of circulation has formed, and the NHC are able to get readings, we’ll have a better idea where it’s heading.

Convection has ticked up a bit just south of Cuba around Invest 97L.

It’s expected to become a Potential Tropical Cyclone today and eventually Hurricane Helene by midweek.

While path is still unclear, intensity guidance is concerning.

There is still time to prepare ahead of landfall and our friends at @[email protected] have you covered!

🍂 Leaves changing color in the fall is a certainty in life. But what causes it, and when will it happen this year? @[email protected] breaks down what you can expect to see this year.

In case anyone hasn’t seen it yet, Erica’s documentary on Mexico’s infamous earthquakes is extremely compelling and well-done:

I think it’s @MyRadar strongest video piece in a very long time. Erica’s narrative is extremely well-constructed, and Mauricio did a masterful job editing… it looks like a Discovery Channel-style documentary. HUGE props to the two of them.

Midwest supercells

A corridor of severe weather potential will exist from Ontario and the Upper Midwest through the corn Belt and into far northeast Oklahoma. A few supercells with a hail and tornado threat will be possible. MyRadar meteorologist Matthew Cappucci has an update.
