.SYNOPSIS...Tropical Storm Helene is expected to strengthen to
near hurricane strength when it reaches the northwestern
Caribbean Wednesday morning. Further intensification is expected
and this system is likely to become a major hurricane before
approaching the northeastern Gulf Coast Thursday evening.
Significantly higher seas and strengthening winds are expected
over the marine area as a result. A Tropical Storm Warning is in
effect for the Florida 0-60 nm Gulf waters. We may need to
include a Small Craft Advisory or Gale Warning for the remainder
of the marine area beginning late Wednesday night which continues
until seas subside Friday morning. Please see the National
Hurricane Center for additional information. Winds and seas are
expected to gradually subside Friday into Friday night with a
moderate westerly to southwesterly flow prevailing through the
weekend.
