GREENSBORO, N.C. — The WFMY News 2 Weather Team is tracking the threat of Hurricane Helene. They’ve issued a WFMY News 2 Weather Impact Alert Day for possible flooding and power outages on Friday.
Thursday will be fairly calm most of the day with mostly cloudy skies and a scattered shower. That will start to change by the evening hours as Hurricane Helene heads inland into Florida and Georgia to our west. Our Futurecast brings some of the earliest rain into our area by dinnertime and evening. Winds won’t be too gusty at this time.
Gov. Roy Cooper urged North Carolinians to prepare for Hurricane Helene during a briefing on Thursday. He referred to the storm as “unusually dangerous” and said it could potentially bring catastrophic flooding tonight and tomorrow.
The storm is also expected to bring landslides to the western part of our state. The governor’s office warns residents to be prepared for thunderstorms, heavy rain, and possible tornadoes.
