Hurricane warnings have been issued for parts of Florida’s Gulf Coast and Mexico ahead of Tropical Storm Helene. The storm is expected to become a major hurricane later this week, bringing strong winds and heavy rainfall. In Florida, warnings are in place from Mexico Beach to the Anclote River, and storm surge could raise water levels by up to 8 feet in Tampa Bay. Helene’s large size means its impact will be felt across a wide area, with potential hazards including flooding and high winds. Residents in the region are urged to prepare for the storm’s arrival and follow guidance from local authorities.
