Tropical Storm Helene formed Tuesday in the Caribbean Sea and could strengthen into a major hurricane while moving north toward the U.S., forecasters said.
Hurricane watches have been issued for parts of Cuba, Mexico and a stretch of the Florida coastline, including Tampa Bay, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. A tropical storm warning has been issued for parts of the Florida Keys.
The disturbance is expected to move “over extremely deep and warm waters” that would fuel its intensification. Bucci said states including Tennessee, Kentucky and Indiana could see rainfall associated with the storm. “The current conditions present significant risk, and we must prioritize our safety,” said Ian Yearwood with the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service.
Up to 8 inches of rain is forecast for western Cuba and the Cayman Islands with isolated totals of 12 inches . Up to 6 inches of rain is expected for the eastern Yucatan Peninsula, with isolated total of more than 8 inches .
