Vicksburg Daily News –
UNIVERSITY PARK, FL – The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is watching for potential tropical development in the same region where Hurricane Helene formed last week.
An area of low pressure could begin to organize in the region early this week before moving slowly into the Gulf of Mexico, where additional development is possible.
A tropical depression could form around midweek while the system tracks northwestward. The system is expected to move into the Gulf during the latter part of the week.
It’s still too early to determine what impacts, if any, the system could have on the continental U.S, but locals should keep an eye on the forecast as it develops.
Timeline of Hurricane Helene’s Development
The NHC first started watching the area where Hurricane Helene eventually started to develop on Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2024.
Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine officially formed the morning of Monday, Sept. 23 and was named Tropical Storm Helene on Tuesday, Sept. 24 afternoon.
The storm made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane two days later at 11:10 pm near Perry, Florida. The storm brought a catastrophic storm surge to Florida’s coast and historic flooding to the Southeast.
