- Hurricane Helene to bring unprecedented impact to the southeastern United States
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — We’ve seen cloud cover increase throughout our Thursday, and winds also turned a touch breezy.
This is all foreshadowing a rough Friday ahead with rainy and windy conditions due to Hurricane Helene. Helene, which ramped up to a Category 4 storm on Thursday night , will unfortunately be a very impactful storm system for the southeastern United States.
Thursday night: Hurricane Helene will be making landfall by early Thursday night in Florida. Rain bands well ahead of the system’s center of circulation will spiral toward Indiana in the overnight hours. This time around, we do not have lots of dry air to overcome like with recent systems that short-sided us of rain.
Lows will only drop into the low to mid 60s. Winds will also pick up with gusts exceeding 30 mph at times closer to the predawn hours Friday.
