Helene prompted hurricane and flash flood warnings extending far beyond the coast up into northern Georgia and western North Carolina.

The tropical storm watch extends northward to include much of the South Carolina coast, too. Milton is expected to make landfall along the west coast of Florida late Wednesday. It will then move across the Florida peninsula and push out into the Atlantic and weaken.

Helene has weakened to a tropical storm as of Friday morning and will continue to weaken today as it moves over Georgia toward the Tennessee Valley. The extent of the damage from the storm is yet to be realized but widespread flooding was reported across the Southeast. National Hurricane Center
