Walt Disney World has activated its first alert to guests about the incoming Tropical Storm Helene. The storm was named earlier today, and it is expected to strengthen into a hurricane soon. Here’s the statement from Walt Disney World:
Monitoring Tropical Storm Helene
Walt Disney World Resort is currently operating under normal conditions. We are closely monitoring the path of the storm as we continue to prioritize the safety of our Guests and Cast Members.
Current forecasts have the center of the storm making landfall somewhere in the Big Bend area of Florida. Orange County and Osceola County are now under a Tropical Storm Warning, upgraded from a Tropical Storm Watch earlier today. The National Weather Service says that conditions in the Central Florida area are expected to deteriorate Wednesday night into Thursday morning, with 50-60mph gusts possible on Thursday as the storm passes west of Tampa Bay. The National Weather Service warns that the storm will be large, and that the impacts of the storm will be felt outside of the forecast cone.
