Hurricane Helene, now a Category 2 storm, expected to intensify before making landfall
SUMMARY: Hurricane Helene has been upgraded to a Category 2 hurricane and is expected to make landfall on Florida’s northwestern coast, bringing potentially “catastrophic” storm surges of up to 20 feet and maximum sustained winds of 100 mph. Currently located 365 miles south-southwest of Florida’s Big Bend, Helene is predicted to rapidly intensify into a Category 4 storm. Warnings and emergencies have been declared in Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas due to the storm’s extensive coverage and impact. Meteorologists emphasize the necessity of evacuating low-lying areas, as the surge is deemed “unsurvivable.”

SUMMARY: In Columbus, Mississippi, Thursday’s weather will feature plenty of sunshine with highs in the lower 80s, due to drier air from the north. However, as moisture from Hurricane Helene approaches, clouds will increase overnight, leading to potential rain, especially in northern areas. Friday is expected to be overcast and rainy, particularly north of US 82, with temperatures ranging from the 60s in the far north to the 70s elsewhere. A flood watch is in effect for several counties. The weekend may see some lingering showers, with sunnier weather returning next week and temperatures rising back into the 80s.
