About 24 hours before the storm makes landfall, Helene is expected to develop into a destructive Category 4 hurricane with winds of 132 mph (212 km/h) and a storm surge that could reach 20 feet (6 meters) near the Tallahassee area and Florida’s Big Bend.

At the end of the forecast, he will attempt to answer your questions. Post them as a comment on the Tallahassee Democrat’s Facebook page or email [email protected].

He will outline the hurricane’s current path and expected impacts on Florida cities, including the catastrophic dangers of wind, storm surge and rain that Helene will bring on Thursday.
