Below is 10 a.m. update for Helene. The storm is now a category 2 hurricane. While the intensity forecasts have back off a little bit, it is still forecast to be a category 3 and maybe a category 4 at landfall later today. The track (finally) shifted a bit to the east and I am confident that Bay and Walton Counties will only experience minor impacts, with heavy rain likely being the main threat except along the immediate coast as mentioned previously.
It's too early for any specifics, but we need to watch the same general location in the Caribbean next week as roughly the same scenario may repeat. It's too early to know for sure that a storm will develop, let alone what the track or strength may be, but several models have been consistent at indicating development in the same area that spawned Helene.
Be safe and let me know if you have any questions.
