Most forecast models suggest a hurricane landfall in Florida or the northern Gulf Coast on Thursday, forecasters say.

Forecasters warned residents along Florida’s Gulf coast of potential Hurricane Helene, which is expected to form in the next 48 hours and track toward an area somewhere between Tampa and Pensacola late in the week.

A hurricane could make landfall in Florida later this week, the National Hurricane Center has warned. National Hurricane Center forecasts are currently calling the weather system “Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine,” but expect it to form into a hurricane, dubbed “Hurricane Helene,” over the course of the week.
