TIMING: Overnight throughout Friday Evening
THREATS/IMPACTS: Damaging Wind Gusts, Flash Flooding, Quick spin-up tornado
CURRENT WATCHES: Flood Watch 7 p.m. - Saturday 7 a.m.
Helene will bring a risk for damaging winds, isolated flash flooding and quick spin-up tornadoes starting overnight tonight throughout Friday night. Thankfully, we are not on the front right quadrant (which is known for numerous spin-up tornadoes)... However, this is still a tropical system so a quick spin-up cannot be ruled out.
Main concerns continue to focus on damaging wind gusts and localized flooding.
Our viewers are the best! When Hannah McDonald highlighted the plight of Serenity Sumler, so many of you immediately stepped up. Serenity stopped to help a driver after spotting a wreck and was hit by another car, resulting in terrible injuries. Without the funds to pay for physical therapy, she was at a loss. Because of the kindness of others - she now can rehab and get back to school. Best of luck to her as she trains to become a chef!
