.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 Watch has been
issued for the Florida 0-60 nm Gulf waters. We may need to include
a Small Craft Advisory 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.
