Tropical Storm Helene forms in Caribbean Sea. What we know about the path | Tracking the tropics

(WMAZ) We have issued a Weather Impact Alert for Thursday for all of central Georgia.
While there is still some uncertainty of the exact track of this tropical system, as of now, gusty wind and heavy rain is looking likely for our area. Over the next day or two, we could see a shift in the track, so the forecast is not set in stone.
As of the 11 a.m. update from the National Hurricane Center, Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine has reached Tropical Storm status, making it our 8th named storm of the season, Helene.
The forecast cone for Helene continues to remain relatively the same, and it follows what long-range models have been saying with a landfall anywhere from Panama City Beach all the way down to Tampa along the Florida Gulf coast.
The center of this cone goes right over us here in central Georgia, but where the center of circulation passes through is still a little up in the air. This forecast also has this system intensifying into a Category 3 storm before landfall.

This is utter garbage! The storm should have been properly named, "Hawk Tua"!
