Hurricane Helene Tropical Cyclone Update
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL092024
225 PM EDT Thu Sep 26 2024
...AIR FORCE HURRICANE HUNTERS FIND HELENE A MAJOR HURRICANE...
The Air Force Hurricane Hunters found that the maximum sustained
winds have increased to near 120 mph (195 km/h). This makes
Helene a dangerous category 3 major hurricane. Additional
strengthening is expected before Helene makes landfall in the
Florida Big Bend this evening.
@Jules3b8d The official NHC forecast calls for 115 kt, and I would guess that a lot of the models predicting lower intensity are global models and not hurricane specific ones
