SUMMARY: David Paul reports from the KH1 Weather Center about a new weather system developing in the Western Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. After Hurricane Helen’s impact on Florida and the Midwest, the busy hurricane season continues, with potential for new storms next week. While there are currently no immediate threats, meteorologists are tracking conditions that could lead to a new system forming from a broad low-pressure area. There’s a 30% chance of development, with models suggesting varied paths. Residents are advised to stay informed daily as weather updates will be crucial in the coming days.

SUMMARY: Hurricane Helen has caused extensive destruction across several Southeastern states, transforming into a tropical depression that triggers heavy rain in Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Ohio. At least 40 fatalities are reported, with expectations of rising numbers as rescuers reach trapped individuals. Power outages affect over 4 million homes in Georgia, Florida, and the Carolinas, complicating rescue efforts. Emergency workers struggle with prioritizing calls due to impassable roads. North Carolina is experiencing severe flooding, leading Governor Roy Cooper to advise against driving. In Florida, Cedar Key faces significant destruction, with entire homes missing or destroyed as the storm moves north.

Hurricane Helene is now a tropical depression, but the storm has left behind a trail of destruction. At least 40 people in four states have died in storm-related incidents and that number is expected to rise.
