SUMMARY: Meteorologists Trey Thonis and Sam Parker report on Hurricane Helen, which is rapidly intensifying with wind speeds climbing from 130 to 140 mph as it approaches the Florida bend. They’ve been tracking the storm closely for hours, noting that a frontal system is diverting its path and minimizing rainfall impacts in South Mississippi. Meanwhile, a team of Air Force hurricane hunters has been monitoring Helen directly from the sky, gathering crucial data for forecasts. Their mission involves locating the storm’s center, using specialized WC-130J aircraft designed for weather reconnaissance. This crucial work enhances the accuracy of hurricane predictions.
