Helene grows stronger as it continues to track toward Florida's Gulf Coast and bring "catastrophic" winds and storm surge to parts of the region, according to Thursday morning's advisory from the National Hurricane Center.

The NHC issued hurricane and storm surge warnings for parts of Florida's Gulf Coast, including the Tampa Bay area, ahead of potential impacts from the storm. 

"Additional strengthening is forecast, and Helene is expected to be a major hurricane when it reaches the Florida Big Bend coast this evening," the NHC said.

The center expects the following impacts:

  • Surge: Citrus, Pasco and Hernando counties could see 6-15 feet. Meanwhile, Hillsborough County could see 5-8 feet while Manatee and Sarasota Counties could see 4-7 feet. Lastly, inland counties like Polk, Hardee, Desoto and Highlands could see 1-3 feet.
  • Rain: 4-8 inches possible
  • Wind: 45-55+ mph sustained winds
  • Severe Weather: Isolated tornadoes possible, a level 1 risk
