National Weather Service United States Department of Commerce

Overview

Late on September 26, Hurricane Helene made landfall in the Big Bend region of Florida. With a forward speed of over 20 mph, it quickly progressed into Georgia and then over the Southern Appalachians on September 27 before gradually dissipating to the northwest by September 29. The storm brought record-breaking rainfall to portions of the area, which was worsened by antecedent rainfall on September 26. Historic flooding and devastation occurred along portions of the far eastern Tennessee mountains with even more widespread impacts to our east. In addition to the rainfall, the storm brought winds of 40 to 60 mph, which led to extensive and long-lasting power outages. This event summary page reviews the meteorological aspects of this devastating event, including radar/wind data and rainfall records that were broken. Additionally, the Tennessee State Climate Office at East Tennessee State University has published a StoryMap of the event that can be found at this link: https://bit.ly/tnhelene24.
