Hurricane Helene forecast update: WCNC Charlotte To Go 9/26/24

A cold front brought heavy rain and severe weather to the Charlotte area on Wednesday and the Carolinas are bracing for the impacts of Hurricane Helene starting Thursday evening. Tropical storm watches and warnings are in place, including portions of our viewing area. A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for Mecklenburg, Union, York, Chester, Gaston, Lincoln, Catawba, Cleveland, Burke, Caldwell and Avery counties. Impacted cities and towns include Banner Elk, Shelby, Lenoir, Morganton, Hickory, Newton, Gastonia, Charlotte, Rock Hill, Fort Mill, Chester, Lincolnton, Monroe, Huntersville, Matthews, and Cheraw. Additionally, a Flood Watch is in place for Alexander, Catawba, Cleveland, Lincoln, Avery, Burke, Caldwell, Ashe, and Watauga counties. This is due to significant flooding possible for the mountains and foothills especially, where there's potential for 5-10 inches of rain between now and Friday afternoon. Closer to the Charlotte area, rainfall totals will range from 3-6 inches west of I-77 and around 2-4 inches east of the interstate. On top of the wind and rain, the Carolinas are expected to be in the right-front quadrant of Helene, often referred to as the "dirty side". This will lead to a higher-than-average risk of quick spin-up tornadoes. Tropical tornadoes are often very weak but they can still produce impacts. #Helene #Hurricane #Weather READ MORE: https://www.wcnc.com/article/weather/...
