Tropical Cyclone Statement issued September 27 at 11:13AM EDT by NWS Charleston SC HLSCHS This product covers southeast South Carolina and southeast Georgia **TROPICAL STORM HELENE CONTINUES TO PULL MUCH FURTHER AWAY FROM THE LOCAL AREA** NEW INFORMATION --------------- * CHANGES TO WATCHES AND WARNINGS: - None * CURRENT WATCHES AND WARNINGS: - A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for Allendale, Beaufort, Charleston, Coastal Colleton, Coastal Jasper, Dorchester, Hampton, Inland Berkeley, Inland Colleton, Inland Jasper, and Tidal Berkeley * STORM INFORMATION: - About 270 miles northwest of Charleston SC or about 260 miles northwest of Savannah GA - 35.1N 83.8W - Storm Intensity 45 mph - Movement North or 350 degrees at 32 mph SITUATION OVERVIEW ------------------ As of 11 AM, Tropical Storm Helene was located to the southwest of Asheville, North Carolina. Tropical storm force winds will continue across southeast South Carolina, the adjacent coastal waters, and the Georgia coastal waters into early this afternoon. Frequent gusts of 40 or 45 mph are expected to continue, but will gradually decrease through the afternoon as the center of Helene begins to curve northwest and move even further away from the forecast area. Across southeast Georgia the Tropical Storm Warning has ended. However, winds will remain gusty. The risk for tornadoes and heavy rain have ended, as the last rainband associated with Helene moves to the north. However, minor flooding of low lying and poor drainage areas are still possible due to previous rains. Area creeks and rivers will continue to rise even though rains have ended. The risk for coastal flooding has likely come to an end. Meanwhile, high surf, strong and dangerous rip currents, and beach erosion are likely at all area beaches through today.
