Much of Southwest and Central Virginia is bracing for the impacts of Helene, which is expected to “intensify and grow in size” as it moves north across the Gulf of Mexico, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center.
Here at home, we’ll see a rather active weather week over the next few days with the potential for high winds, showers and flooding. Our region will likely see the most impacts on Fridays, with a 90% chance of widespread rain.
