Update 7:00 PM EDT Thurs: Extremely dangerous Category 4 Helene heading towards the Florida Big Bend

Sustained tropical-storm-force winds are being reported along the west coast of Florida, with wind gusts near hurricane-force. Tropical storm conditions are approaching the coastline of Florida's Big Bend.

[Dr. Levi Cowan @TropicalTidbits]

Hurricane #Helene is forecast to be a catastrophic event for some coastal areas of #Florida, with up to 20 feet of storm surge inundation possible, extending miles inland from the coast in some places.

Hurricane force winds are possible over a significant swath of the Florida Panhandle, portions of the western Florida Peninsula, and southern #Georgia, extending well inland. High inland flash flooding risk due to heavy rainfall is also expected over a wide area along the storm track.

Helene is now forecast to be an extreme Category 4 hurricane at landfall. Residents should prepare accordingly.

Despite the summer like warmth this weekend, the start of fall is officially one week away!
