Good Morning Meridian Tori Alvarado's forecast 9/25/24
SUMMARY: Today is a rainy Wednesday across Mississippi and Alabama due to a cold front moving through the region, bringing heavy showers and some lightning, particularly in Smith and Jasper counties. Current temperatures are in the upper 60s, expected to rise to the lower 80s later. The rain is forecasted to lighten up by this afternoon, but showers will persist into the evening. Cooler, more enjoyable weather is anticipated for the weekend, and while recent rainfall has improved drought conditions, more is still needed. Additionally, tropical storm Helen is expected to strengthen into a category 3 hurricane before impacting Florida.

Potential for Catastrophic Flooding as Helene Moves Inland
SUMMARY: Hurricane Helen’s impact is expected to extend well inland, potentially causing catastrophic flooding in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Asheville, North Carolina, recorded over 4 inches of rain on Wednesday, totaling more than 9 inches, with more rain anticipated. The saturated ground leaves little room for additional rain, raising concerns about river flooding, particularly in areas affected by the Swannanoa River’s past floods in 2004. The French Broad River is also under monitoring for flooding, while tropical storm-force winds may lead to power outages in Asheville as conditions worsen.
The Weather Channel Meteorologist Felicia Combs reports from Asheville, North Carolina where she says impacts from Hurricane Helene will reach far past the coast and well inland. It could be catastrophic flooding for places like Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Credit: The Weather Channel // Date: 9/26/2024

Widespread Long-Duration Power Outages Highly Likely in Tallahassee
SUMMARY: Tallahassee, Florida, is bracing for hurricane-force winds from storm Helen, predicted to hit tonight. Concerns are high among state and local officials due to the city‘s extensive tree canopy, which covers 55% of the area. Notably, 37% of this canopy is vulnerable to high winds, increasing the likelihood of widespread, prolonged power outages. The storm’s arrival at night aggravates the situation, as falling trees could pose significant risks. Officials are closely monitoring the situation as Helen approaches the region, prompting heightened readiness in Tallahassee and surrounding areas.
The Weather Channel Correspondent Justin Michaels reports from Tallahassee, Florida where he said that the tree canopy is a major concern as Hurricane Helene comes ashore and pushes north. He said that the entire Tallahassee area, 55% of the capital city has a tree canopy and 37% of that canopy does not sustain winds very well which means widespread long-duration power outages.
