Helene is forecast to pass the Yucatan peninsula today on its way into the Gulf of Mexico, where significant strengthening is expected.

A Hurricane Warning is in effect from Anclote River to Mexico Beach, Florida.
ALERT™ subscribers can download similar stochastic event (SSE) IDs for Helene from the Downloads tab of this posting on the ALERT website. Compatible with Touchstone® and Touchstone Re™, the SSEs were selected based on the event’s projected key meteorological parameters at landfall, in particular storm track, minimum central pressure, estimated winds, forward speed, and landfall angle. They were selected primarily for impacts in Florida and can also be used to broadly capture potential storm impacts in Georgia and Alabama.
The Verisk ALERT Team is monitoring impacts from Helene along the Yucatan peninsula, but no ALERT postings specific to this are currently planned. We will issue updated similar stochastic events for U.S. impacts from this event on Thursday, September 26th, by around 10:00 am EDT. In the meantime, please contact your Verisk representative with any questions about this event.
