Sarasota Bay is approaching LOW tide right now. This is some of the worst of the wind we’ve seen so far. Surge problems will only get worse as Helene moves to our NW and tide starts coming back in. @weatherchannel

There is a danger of life-threatening storm surge along the entire west coast of the Florida Peninsula and Florida Big Bend with #Helene.
🌊@NHC_Atlantic storm surge forecasts are given in feet above ground level.
🌊Adding to the destructive power of surge, battering waves may increase damage to buildings directly along the coast.
🌊Water weighs approximately 1,700 pounds per cubic yard; extended pounding by frequent waves can demolish any structure not specifically designed to withstand such forces.
🌊The two elements work together to increase the impact on land because the surge allows waves to extend inland.

#helene now a 120mph MAJOR hurricane. Still several hours over water before landfall.

Valdosta, along with much of South Georgia, will likely look much different by sunrise tomorrow. By dinner time tonight the weather will go downhill rapidly and we’ll be riding it out with y'all only on the @weatherchannel

As #Helene continues to approach the coast, please do not get overly focused on short-term wobbles in its track, "false" eye locations, or on specific computer model simulations.
EVERYONE along the Florida Big Bend coast is at risk of potentially catastrophic storm surge and damaging hurricane-force winds later this evening, and life-threatening storm surge is already increasing along the west coast of Florida.

After a quick glance at this, I could only find one above average snowfall YTD. Can you find it?

The crew at Buffalo Niagara Int’l airport have been working tirelessly to keep this runway clear. They have something called the #snowmelter which can melt 135 tons of snow per hour. 50 million BTU! @weatherchannel
