With the risk for significant flooding and Georgia in the path of Hurricane Helene, some school districts are changing their plans for athletic events and after-school activities.

The Gulf Coast is bracing for a major hurricane landfall late this week as Tropical Storm Helene is forecast to rapidly intensify into a Category 3 storm. Local governments and residents along the storm’s path are already preparing roads and bridges two days before Helene's expected landfall.

Tropical Storm Helene is headed towards Florida and surrounding states including Georgia can also expect weather disturbances including heavy rainfall and potential flooding throughout the course of the week.
