Hurricane Watch

Hurricane Watch A tropical rainstorm in the western Caribbean has intensified into Tropical Storm Helene, marking the eighth named storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season. The storm’s center is approximately 600 miles south of Tampa and is anticipated to veer northward. It is projected to navigate through the channel between Cuba and Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula before entering the Gulf of Mexico, where it is expected to escalate rapidly into a major hurricane. A hurricane is expected to make landfall as a major Category 3 storm, with wind speeds between 111-129 mph, according to the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Current projections suggest the highest landfall probability along the Florida Panhandle coast Thursday evening.
