Hurricane Helene was still a good distance away from the Florida coast Wednesday, but its size became a concern for residents in the South Florida area.

So far, Miami-Dade, Broward and Monroe say they are monitoring the storm but will not be closing schools as of yet. “Currently, District operations remain unaffected. We’ll keep you updated as needed,” posted Miami-Dade Schools on X.

Forecasters say they expect Tropical Storm Helene in the Caribbean Sea to strengthen rapidly and become a hurricane as it moves north across the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday toward the U.S. The National Hurricane Center has issued hurricane warnings for northwestern Florida’s coastline and part of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.
