SUMMARY: Western North Carolina is struggling to recover from Hurricane Helen, particularly local businesses that are in urgent need of assistance. A volunteer in Maran, near Asheville, emphasized the importance of rebuilding infrastructure and stated that major financial support is crucial for many businesses to reopen. He suggested that people can help by purchasing from local online shops and urged other business owners to offer support. The recovery process is complicated, with entire industries affected. Ongoing cleanup efforts are underway, and influential business leaders are expected to assist in the recovery. Financial contributions are being raised to aid humanitarian relief efforts.

Some businesses in Western North Carolina were devastated by Helene and are working towards recovery.

ABC15 spoke with a volunteer and supply coordinator on Wednesday who is in Marion, North Carolina, which is just west of Asheville.

SUMMARY: The weather is starting chilly and dry but will remain pleasant for the next 24 hours due to high pressure. Highs will be in the upper 60s to near 70 degrees, above average. However, starting Tuesday through Thursday, a cold front will cause significant temperature fluctuations and bring widespread rainfall, especially Tuesday afternoon and night. Wednesday begins wet but will dry out by evening. Following the front, colder air will lead to a significant drop in temperatures, with Thursday morning feeling like the 20s and 30s, continuing cooler through the end of the week.
