Hurricane Helene is projected to make landfall in Florida as a major hurricane late Thursday night.

Rain will arrive in the area early Friday morning. The heaviest showers are expected during the evening hours, according to Storm Center 7 Meteorologist Ryan Marando.

This could impact Friday night high school football games.

Winds are expected to gust between 25-45 mph, but no severe weather is expected, Morando says.

Rainfall totals will vary. The current expectation is that rainfall totals will be over an inch south of Interstate 70 while areas north of I-70 will get between a quarter to a half-inch of rain.

Ryan says we will see mostly cloudy skies on Saturday, but it won’t be as windy. Things will remain unsettled with the stationary low from Helene over us.

We will update this story.
