Wed 9/25/24 - US weather | Hurricane Helene makes its final approach toward Florida

EDIT 9/26/24 219 am: I am just going to add to this that I don't think I stressed the storm surge enough. We are looking at a 16-20 ft surge at landfall, and most of the coastal town elevations average 5-10 ft according to USGS maps. If you are in one of the coastal towns like Steinhatchee, Fish Creek, St Marks, etc, this is a situation where you need to absolutely follow the evacuation orders. Do not leave your pets behind! Refer to the latest NWS warnings for current information.

Great WX Analysis and Forecast briefing, Tim! I was a Forecaster in the Navy 1983-2004. Love these Old School WX briefs. Thank you!!

[@mr.b4]

Was looking forward to this-best source👍👍 thanks Tim!

[@ForecastLab]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@coldspring624]

Much appreciated for your rock solid reads

[@ForecastLab]

Appreciate your views!

[@ElyseNOTElsey]

You give the most thorough reports! Thank you

[@ForecastLab]

Thank you, I definitely try, the info, the graphics, editing is a lot to juggle but I may be getting better at it.

[@jodymaley3674]

Thanks for calm discussion of our inbound hurricane. I've been through a Cat 2 while attending U of F at Gainesville. Sensible preps and self sufficiency are the rule, whether a hurricane or a Midwest blizzard

[@ForecastLab]

I appreciate it! Hopefully we get a few viewers there that heed the advice, this is looking pretty dire for the Tallahassee area and especially the rural/coastal areas.

[@ronchalfant6394]

Thank you Tim! Your comment about being prepared is very TRUE! In areas where Fires, Hurricanes etc are possible, we should always be ready for power outages, and other problems. Living in the Mountains as I do, these are common problems so having a generator along with extra canned food supplies and water is a must. Be prepared it will save you a lot of inconvenience.

[@ForecastLab]

Well said!

Tim, thank you for your years of outstanding work, your greatly appreciated. Tim this especially true with your in depth coverage of a likely historical event.

[@ForecastLab]

Thank you! Glad to have you as a viewer.

These are the cleanest looking satellite loops known to mankind! Could watch them forever

[@ForecastLab]

I appreciate it... I'll try to see if I can get them looking even better.

[@danielwilliams318]

Thanks Tim 👍
thoroughly enjoyed watching over breakfast 😊

[@ForecastLab]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@vhhawk]

Great to put a face to the voice. Thanks for the update! Will share with my family in Georgia so they have good data to prepare.

[@ForecastLab]

Thank you!

[@letsgobaby8501]

Thanks for the video Tim. Your hurricane coverage always reminds me of the first time I started following this channel, you were covering Hurricane Matthew 7 years ago. Glad you are still making these videos and its been awesome to see your channel grow.

[@ForecastLab]

Thanks! Yeah I still remember putting Tim Marshall on the air after Irma in 2017... and of course covering Harvey when we had hundreds watching live.

[@letsgobaby8501]

@@ForecastLab I miss the live streams… would be cool to see them again!

[@neilrobinson3085]

Hi Tim, Nice to see you back in the southeast corner for the intro!

[@ForecastLab]

Thanks, I think that's the right balance, a little corner intro then have the rest 100% charts. It's definitely better that way as I can shut off the lights and see the screen better.

[@glennrubel4326]

Any long-range outlooks for this winter?

[@ForecastLab]

The only reasonable guess is the typical patterns seen in La Nina years, which would be cold in the northern US and indeterminate in the south, though we've gotten some good cold waves during La Nina years, as the trajectory of those outbreaks can vary and a few come far south. The western US is likely to be warm/dry especially in the deserts and southern Rockies.

-2F in Alert Nunavut

[@ForecastLab]

Nice... wish I could bring my maps further north but it would make the rest harder to read. It will time to start up the graphics for checking Canadian air masses though, we did a lot of those charts last winter.

@@ForecastLab Helene is the big news now...wonder if it will have any effect into the Detroit-Windsor area?
