Hurricane Helene Brings Potential Weekend Showers to NYC
Hurricane Helene, currently a Category 4 storm, is making its way across the Gulf of Mexico, threatening a "catastrophic" storm surge in northwestern Florida. The storm is also expected to bring damaging winds, heavy rains, and flash floods across much of the southeastern U.S.
After making landfall, the storm is projected to head north and west, stalling out around the Tennessee and Ohio River Valley. This movement could bring some moisture to the New York area, potentially causing showers over the weekend. Areas south and west of NYC have a higher chance of seeing rain on Saturday into Sunday.
