ORLANDO, Fla. – Due to the size of Helene, the storm’s bands are hitting Central Florida with tropical downpours and gusty winds.
A couple of tornado warnings were issued Thursday morning for Brevard and Volusia counties but later expired.
All of Central Florida is under a tornado watch through 6 a.m. Friday.
A tornado watch means conditions are favorable for development of tornadoes.
Helene is now a major Category 4 hurricane and is making landfall in the Big Bend area of Florida.
