National Hurricane Center

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.
