Tropical Storm Helene, the eighth named storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, formed on Tuesday morning over the northwestern Caribbean Sea, the National Hurricane Center said. It is expected to rapidly intensify into a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico before making landfall somewhere over Florida this week, according to the latest track and projections from the NHC.
A tropical storm has sustained winds of 38-73 mph, while a Category 1 hurricane has sustained winds of at least 74 mph. A northward to north-northeastward motion at a faster forward speed is expected on Wednesday and Thursday."On the forecast track, the center of Helene will move across the far northwestern Caribbean Sea through tonight, and then move across the eastern Gulf of Mexico Wednesday and Thursday, potentially reaching the Gulf coast of Florida late Thursday," the NHC said.
