A northward or north-northeastward motion at a faster forward speed is expected during the next 36 hours. On the forecast track, Helene will move across the eastern Gulf of Mexico tonight and Thursday and cross the Florida Big Bend coast Thursday evening. After landfall, Helene is expected to turn northwestward and slow down over the Tennessee Valley on Friday and Saturday. Helene will continue to have an unusually large wind field as it moves northward through the eastern Gulf, with tropical storm force winds extending out up to 300 miles east of the center. Occasional squalls embedded within rain bands will continue tonight through Thursday. These squalls will be capable of damaging wind gusts of 55 to 65 mph, along with an isolated tornado or two. Sustained tropical storm force winds near 40 mph are expected across the Keys tonight through Thursday afternoon, with the greatest chances for these sustained winds in the Lower Keys. Storm surge flooding of 1 to 3 feet above ground level is expected throughout the Florida Keys from early Thursday morning through Thursday evening, and a Coastal Flood Warning remains in effect. Coastal flooding is expected to peak near the times of high tide occurring early Thursday morning, then again Thursday evening. Flooding may extend over streets and low elevation properties a few blocks from the shoreline. Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches, with locally higher amounts, are expected through Friday evening, with the potential for some rainwater flooding of low lying spots. POTENTIAL IMPACTS ----------------- * WIND: Protect against hazardous wind having possible limited impacts across the Florida Keys. Potential impacts include: - Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored mobile homes. Unsecured lightweight objects blown about. - Many large tree limbs broken off. A few trees snapped or uprooted, but with greater numbers in places where trees are shallow rooted. Some fences and roadway signs blown over. - A few roads impassable from debris, particularly within heavily wooded places. Hazardous driving conditions on bridges and other elevated roadways. - Scattered power and communications outages. * SURGE: Protect against locally hazardous surge having possible limited impacts across the Florida Keys. Potential impacts in this area include: - Localized inundation with storm surge flooding mainly along immediate shorelines and in low-lying spots. - Sections of roads and parking lots inundated by surge water. Driving conditions dangerous in places where surge water covers the road. - Minor to locally moderate damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers. A few small craft broken away from moorings. * TORNADOES: Protect against a tornado event having possible limited impacts across the Florida Keys. Potential impacts include: - The occurrence of isolated tornadoes can hinder the execution of emergency plans during tropical events. - A few places may experience tornado damage, along with power and communications disruptions. - Locations could realize roofs peeled off buildings, mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned, large tree tops and branches snapped off, shallow-rooted trees knocked over, moving vehicles blown off roads, and small boats pulled from moorings. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS ---------------------------------- * OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION: Keep your cell phone charged and in power-saving mode. If you lose power, use it sparingly and mainly for personal emergencies and check-ins. If a tornado warning is issued for your area, quickly move to the safest place within your shelter.

Coastal Flood Warning issued September 26 at 12:53AM EDT until September 27 at 12:00AM EDT by NWS Key West FL * WHAT...The persistent tropical storm force winds will exacerbate coastal flooding across the Florida Keys this morning. These winds, combined with persistent positive anomalies and high tide, will result in storm surge flooding of 1 to 3 feet above ground level, or mean higher high water. For reference, the recent King Tides reached 1.5 feet above mean higher high water. Inundation will be greatest for Atlantic facing shorelines this morning, and may persist through the afternoon low tides. We have low confidence in a Gulf side surge Thursday evening as Hurricane Helene pulls away from the Keys. * WHERE...The Florida Keys. * WHEN...Now through Thursday evening, but especially during the high tides around sunrise. * IMPACTS...Storm surge flooding will cause numerous roads to be closed. Low lying property including homes, businesses, and some critical infrastructure will be inundated. Flooding may extend over streets and low elevation properties a few blocks from the shoreline. Some shoreline erosion will occur. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth.
