Fixed. ***NOT HELENE***
This system will be a topic for another thread once Helene clears out...

Helene track has moved about 50 miles west. This storm may end up hitting the same area that Hurricane Michael hit. Wow

Perfect, makes sense. Thanks.

Still the consensus big bend landfall. The hurricane warning area has moved slightly west, now encompassing mexico beach, but the cone is tightening.
Mexico beach and Cedar key roughly represent the borders of the cone, so the area smack in the middle to cedar key should still be most worried here

Michael made landfall between Tyndall AFB and Mexico beach. Panacea is still squarely in the middle of the cone and that's 80 miles east of Michael landfall. This storm also looks like it's going to be a lot wider than Michael.
There was minimal damage west of the Hathaway bridge in Panama City during Michael while the Callaway area was wiped off the map. Callaway is about 20 miles from that bridge- and that's the reason everyone in Bay county is watching this thing with a tight arse hole. Landfall spot matters- but as of now we are still in the clear for direct hit

Dog Island looks like it is going to get creamed.

I want to believe Helene will be affected by shear from that cold front and limit strength

We'd be a lot better off in that regard if it were just the front. As it is, the front gets pinched off and forms a mid level low that will be in a really good position to actually help strengthen Helene.
ETA: It is also the interaction between the low and the storm after landfall that will be a threat for considerable flooding into western NC and surrounding areas.

The front washes out over Mississippi and Louisiana, resulting in a cutoff low. Helene accelerates towards land as it merges with the cutoff. That is why hurricane conditions will reach so far inland.

They have been rapidly spinning something up behind Helene in the models so this isn't really surprising.

That's why I've posted that people in Georgia and Southern Tennessee need to pay attention as well. Lots of flooding will also come from this system, it's not just the wind damage. Those mountain areas are going to experience some serious flooding.

about as bad a situation as you can get

Looking at the rainfall forecast in the OP, the heaviest rain will be in the mountainous area where TN, SC, & NC meet. I can't imagine what the flooding in that area will be like with it rushing off the mountains to the valley areas.

Yep. The flood threat for the NC/TN border area is considerable, and that's one of the worst places for flash flooding.
