Hurricane Helene brings High Wind Warnings to North Carolina, Flood Warnings, and Isolated Tornado Threats

YOU YESTERDAY, JUST SLIGHTLY TAKING THAT TURN A LITTLE BIT SOONER ONCE IT MOVES INTO NORTHERN GEORGIA. WHAT THAT MEANS, THOUGH, FOR US, IS THAT WE ARE STILL IN A WIDE ZONE OF WIND DAMAGE CONCERN. WE NOW HAVE WIND ADVISORIES THAT ARE GOING UP FOR FOLKS IN THE FOOTHILLS. THE PIEDMONT TRIAD, AND ALONG THE MOUNTAIN RIDGES FROM JEFFERSON. AS WE GO UP THROUGH AREAS LIKE GALAX AND SOUTH THROUGH BOONE AND BLOWING ROCK, WE’VE GOT THOSE WIND WARNINGS, A HIGH WIND WARNINGS FOR GUSTS THAT COULD COME UP TO 60 MILES AN HOUR SWINGING THROUGH WITH SOME OF THOSE TROPICAL RAIN BANDS. NOW, THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WE EXPECT THE PEAK TO BE EARLY TOMORROW MORNING OVER ABOUT A THREE HOUR TIMEFRAME. SO WE ARE EXPECTING AT LEAST A SHORTENED WINDOW TO SEE THE WORST OF THE WIND, ALTHOUGH IT WILL RAMP UP AS WE GET YOU THROUGH LATER TONIGHT. WINDS IN THE FOOTHILLS AND TRIAD EAST SOUTHEASTERLY BREEZE TO 15 TO 25 MILES AN HOUR. GUSTS UP TO 45 MILES AN HOUR. NOW WIDESPREAD OUTAGES IN THE WARNED AREA. TRAVEL HAZARDS MAY DEVELOP AS WE’VE GOT DOWNED TREES. POWER LINES ARE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO WATCH OUT FOR TOO. NOW FLOOD ALERTS WE CURRENTLY HAVE FLOOD ADVISORIES AND FLOOD WARNINGS UP FOR PARTS OF THE MOUNTAINS FROM JEFFERSON WILKESBORO THIS GOES INTO ALLEGHENY COUNTY. THEY’VE SEEN SOME THREE TO 4.5IN IN THESE AREAS. HERE YOUR STORM TRACKING SHOWS YOU THAT RIGHT NOW. AND RIGHT LIGHT RAINFALL TOTALS TO THE EAST. NOW TO THE EAST, WE EXPECT LIGHT RAINFALL TOTALS AS WELL. I WANT TO SHOW YOU THAT HOUR BY HOUR FORECAST. YOU CAN SEE HERE AS WE GO THROUGH THE LATE EVENING HOURS, WE START TO SEE THOSE WINDS RAMP UP 25 TO 40 MILES AN HOUR. AND THEN WE SEE THOSE SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES AGAIN DEVELOPING BETWEEN 6 TO 9 A.M. WE’RE EXPECTING TO SEE SOME WORSENING WEATHER IN THE MOUNTAINS. THE GUSTS ANYWHERE FROM 45 TO 50 MILES AN HOUR, RAMPING UP TO ABOUT 50 TO 60 MILES AN HOUR. AS YOU CAN SEE, BETWEEN NINE AND 10 A.M. AND SWINGING THROUGH WITH SOME OF THE WORST RAIN, AND ALSO MENTIONING ISOLATED TORNADO THREATS NOT ONLY TONIGHT, BUT TOMORROW MORNING AS WELL. THIS LINE, THAT BAND THAT LOOKS TO BE THE WORST COMING THROUGH BETWEEN EARLY MORNING AND MIDDAY, MAY PRODUCE SOME ISOLATED TORNADOES. SO WE’RE LOOKING IN THE ZONES HERE FROM BURLINGTON THROUGH REIDSVILLE AND GREENSBORO. AND ALTHOUGH YOU MAY NOT SEE THE WORST WIND GUSTS IN THOSE ZONES OR HEAVIEST RAIN, YOU MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE TO SEE ISOLATED TORNADOES IN THOSE ZONES. SO WE ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THAT WITH SPORADIC POWER OUTAGES TO THE EAST. BUT THE WORST OF THE IMPACT EXPECTED IN THE MOUNTAINS THROUGH YOUR FRIDAY. WE’RE LOOKING AT THOSE ISOLATED TORNADOES EVEN THERE. WE’LL HAVE MUCH MORE FOR YOU COMING UP AND TALK ABOUT THE IMPACTS TO FOR FOLKS AS WE GET INTO THE EASTERN TRIAD FROM GREENSBORO, ASHEBORO AND BURLINGTON, YOU’VE GOT SOME HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND ISOLATED FLOODING. AND AGAIN, THE ZONE FOR FOLKS FROM WINSTON-SALEM LEXINGTON BACK INTO YADKINVILLE AND MOUNT AIRY, BRINGING ANYWHERE FROM THREE TO POTENTIALLY SIX INCHES AS WE MOVE WEST TOWARD THE MOUNTAINS FOR RAINFALL TOTALS. SO IT’S GOING TO BE ANOTHER BUSY 24 HOURS AND NOISY TOO. AS WE TALK ABOUT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, WE’RE GOING TO HAVE MUCH MORE FOR YOU COMING UP THROUGHOUT THE DAY WITH UPDATES ON HURRICANE HELENE. JOIN US LIVE AT 4:00 AND WE’LL HAVE MORE FOR YO
