Persons located within these areas should take all necessary actions to protect life and property from rising water and the potential for other dangerous conditions. Promptly follow evacuation and other instructions from local officials. A Hurricane Warning means that hurricane conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area. Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion. A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area. A Hurricane Watch means that hurricane conditions are possible within the watch area. For storm information specific to your area in the United States, including possible inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. For storm information specific to your area outside of the United States, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 100 PM CDT (1800 UTC), the center of Hurricane Helene was located near latitude 26.4 North, longitude 85.0 West. Helene is moving toward the north-northeast near 16 mph (26 km/h). A significant increase in forward speed is expected during the next 24 hours. On the forecast track, Helene will make landfall in the Florida Big Bend region this evening. After landfall, Helene is expected to turn northwestward and slow down over the Tennessee Valley on Friday and Saturday. Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 110 mph (175 km/h) with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is forecast, and Helene is expected to be a major hurricane when it reaches the Florida Big Bend coast this evening. Weakening is expected after landfall, but Helene's fast forward speed will allow strong, damaging winds, especially in gusts, to penetrate well inland across the southeastern United States, including over the higher terrain of the southern Appalachians. Helene is a very large hurricane. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 345 miles (555 km). A weather station in Tarpon Point recently reported a sustained wind of 41 mph (67 km/h) with a gust to 54 mph (87 km/h). The minimum central pressure based on data from the Air Force Hurricane Hunters is 959 mb (28.32 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key Messages for Helene can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT4 and WMO header WTNT44 KNHC and on the web at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT4.shtml STORM SURGE: The combination of a life-threatening storm surge and the tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide... Carrabelle, FL to Suwannee River, FL...15-20 ft Apalachicola, FL to Carrabelle, FL...10-15 ft Suwannee River, FL to Chassahowitzka, FL...10-15 ft Chassahowitzka, FL to Anclote River, FL...8-12 ft Indian Pass, FL to Apalachicola, FL...6-10 ft Anclote River, FL to Middle of Longboat Key, FL...5-8 ft Tampa Bay...5-8 ft Middle of Longboat Key, FL to Englewood, FL...4-7 ft East of Mexico Beach, FL to Indian Pass, FL...3-5 ft Englewood, FL to Flamingo, FL...3-5 ft Charlotte Harbor...3-5 ft The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and to the east of the landfall location, where the surge will be accompanied by large and dangerous waves. Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances. For information specific to your area, please see products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. For a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge inundation, please see the National Weather Service Peak Storm Surge Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?peakSurge. WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected within the U.S. hurricane warning area late today. Tropical storm conditions have occurring in the Florida Keys and portions of southern and southwestern Florida, and these conditions are expected to spread northward across the tropical storm warning areas in the southeastern U.S. through early Friday. Strong, damaging winds, especially in gusts, will likely penetrate as far inland as the higher terrain of the southern Appalachians. RAINFALL: Hurricane Helene is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 4 to 8 inches over western Cuba. This rainfall brings a risk of considerable flooding. Over portions of the Southeastern U.S. into the Southern Appalachians, Helene is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 6 to 12 inches, with isolated totals around 20 inches. This rainfall will likely result in catastrophic and potentially life-threatening flash and urban flooding, along with significant river flooding. Numerous significant landslides are expected in steep terrain across the southern Appalachians. For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with Hurricane Helene, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?rainqpf and the Flash Flood Risk graphic at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?ero. For a list of rainfall observations (and wind reports) associated this storm, see the companion storm summary at WBCSCCNS4 with the WMO header ACUS44 KWBC or at the following link: www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/discussions/nfdscc4.html. TORNADOES: The risk for several tornadoes will gradually increase today through tonight. The greatest threat is expected from parts of northern Florida into southeast Georgia, the Midlands and Low Country of South Carolina, and southern North Carolina. SURF: Swells generated by Helene will affect much of Florida and the coasts of Georgia and the Carolinas during the next couple of days. Swells will also continue across portions of Cuba and the Yucatan Peninsula through tonight. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 400 PM CDT.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Thu Sep 26 2024

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Helene, located over the eastern Gulf of Mexico and on Tropical
Storm Isaac, located over the central Subtropical Atlantic Ocean.

Eastern and Central Tropical Atlantic (AL98):
Showers and thunderstorms associated with an area of low pressure
located several hundred miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands
continue to show signs of organization. Recent satellite imagery
suggests the system does not yet have a well-defined surface
circulation. However, environmental conditions are expected to be
conducive for further development. A tropical depression is
expected to form later today or tomorrow while the disturbance
moves generally westward to west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph. The
system is then forecast to slow down and turn northward late Friday
and Saturday.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.

Western Caribbean:
An area of low pressure could form over the western Caribbean by the
middle of next week. Environmental conditions are expected to be
conducive for slow development thereafter, while the system moves
generally northwestward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.

&&
Public Advisories on Tropical Storm Isaac are issued under WMO
header WTNT35 KNHC and under AWIPS header MIATCPAT5.
Forecast/Advisories on Tropical Storm Isaac are issued under WMO
header WTNT25 KNHC and under AWIPS header MIATCMAT5.

Issued at 1000 AM CDT Thu Sep 26 2024 020 WTNT44 KNHC 261454 TCDAT4 Hurricane Helene Discussion Number 13 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL092024 1000 AM CDT Thu Sep 26 2024 Helene is gaining strength as it approaches the Florida Big Bend. A large eye has become apparent in satellite images, and that feature has been gradually clearing out over the past few hours. Convective banding is wrapping around the eye, and recent microwave images and reports from the NOAA and Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate than an eyewall is almost completely closed. The minimum pressure has been dropping steadily to near 960 mb, and based on the aircraft flight-level wind data, the initial intensity is estimated to have increased to 90 kt. There have been several reports of tropical-storm-force winds occurring in portions of South Florida and the Florida Keys during the past few hours. The large hurricane is picking up speed and has turned slightly to the north-northeast. The latest initial motion is 025/12 kt. A notably faster north-northeastward motion is expected through landfall, which is expected to occur in the Florida Big Bend region this evening. After Helene moves inland, it is forecast to track over Georgia and then slow down or stall over the Tennessee Valley when it merges with a mid- to upper-level low pressure system. Only minor changes were made to the previous NHC track forecast. Significant intensification is expected until Helene reaches the coast since the overall atmospheric and oceanic conditions will remain conducive. The amount of strengthening will likely depend on how much the inner core can contract and consolidate. The HWRF and HMON models show significant strengthening to category 4 status, while most of the other models are a little lower. The main message is that Helene will likely make landfall as a large major hurricane in the Florida Big Bend this evening, and all preparations in the hurricane warning area should be rushed to completion. It should also be re-emphasized that Helene is a very large hurricane. In fact, comparing the system with previous hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico over the past couple of decades, Helene is at the upper bound in terms of size. As a result, storm surge, wind, and rainfall impacts will extend far away from the center and well outside the forecast cone, particularly on the east side. In addition, the fast forward speed when Helene moves inland will result in a far inland penetration of strong winds over parts of the southeastern United States, including strong gusts over higher terrain of the southern Appalachians. Accordingly, a higher-than-normal gust factor is indicated in the official forecast while Helene is inland. KEY MESSAGES: 1. A catastrophic and deadly storm surge is likely along portions of the Florida Big Bend coast, where inundation could reach as high as 20 feet above ground level, along with destructive waves. There is also a danger of life-threatening storm surge along the remainder of the west coast of the Florida Peninsula. Residents in those areas should follow advice given by local officials and evacuate if told to do so. 2. Potentially catastrophic hurricane-force winds are expected within the eyewall of Helene when it makes landfall in the Florida Big Bend region this evening. Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion. Damaging and life-threatening hurricane-force winds, especially in gusts, will penetrate well inland over portions of northern Florida and southern Georgia later today and tonight where Hurricane Warnings are in effect. Strong wind gusts are also likely farther north across portions of northern Georgia and the Carolinas, particularly over the higher terrain of the southern Appalachians. 3. Catastrophic and life-threatening flash and urban flooding, including numerous significant landslides, is expected across portions of the southern Appalachians through Friday. Considerable to locally catastrophic flash and urban flooding is likely for northwestern and northern Florida and the Southeast through Friday. Widespread significant river flooding and isolated major river flooding are likely.

Issued at 1100 AM AST Thu Sep 26 2024 000 WTNT45 KNHC 261437 TCDAT5 Tropical Storm Isaac Discussion Number 3 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL102024 1100 AM AST Thu Sep 26 2024 Isaac's structure has remained mostly steady state during the past 6 hours. Cloud tops associated with the tropical storm are still not particularly cold, but as noted in previous discussions, this is not unexpected for its synoptic environment. A blend of subjective Dvorak estimates from TAFB and SAB plus objective estimates from UW-CIMSS still supports an intensity of 45 kt for this advisory. For the next 48-60 h, the track forecast appears to be mostly straightforward. All reliable guidance indicates that Isaac will continue moving eastward to east-northeastward with a mid-latitude trough during that period. However, there is a significant bifurcation in the dynamical models after that. A majority of the guidance, including most of the ECMWF ensemble, indicate that Isaac will turn back eastward, continuing with the mid-latitude flow associated with another deep-layer trough. However, a few members of the global ensembles, plus the deterministic GFS, indicate Isaac could move slightly slower, which could cause the tropical storm to interact with a different trough, currently located over eastern Canada. This may cause the tropical cyclone to move northward after 60 h, on a very different track. The NHC forecast treats the GFS as an outlier, and is instead near the consensus of the remaining guidance. It is therefore very similar to the previous forecast. However, confidence in this forecast is particularly low, and we can't rule out needing to make an unusually large change to later forecasts. Isaac appears to be in an environment that should be generally conducive for some strengthening, especially during the next day or two. After that, unusually cold upper-tropospheric temperatures could help sustain the tropical cyclone for a while, even as it moves over colder SSTs in the 24-25 deg C. By the end of the forecast period, much colder SSTs and a dramatic increase in shear should cause Isaac to become post-tropical. No changes of note were made to the NHC forecast, which still shows Isaac reaching hurricane strength during the next couple of days.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Isaac was located near latitude 37.3 North, longitude 51.7 West. Isaac is moving toward the east near 12 mph (19 km/h). A turn toward the east-northeast or northeast is expected by the weekend, along with a slight increase in forward speed. Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts. Strengthening is forecast, and Isaac is expected reach or be near hurricane strength by late Friday or early Saturday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 997 mb (29.44 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- SURF: Swells generated by Isaac and a large wind fetch from a deep-layer trough are affecting portions of the coast of Bermuda and could spread into the Azores by this weekend. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
