This week, hundreds died and thousands were displaced by flooding in southern states, impacting areas thought to be a refuge from such natural disasters.

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said Helene has caused unprecedented devastation across the western portion of the state. He emphasized the scale of the recovery ahead, stating: "This will be a long and difficult recovery."

As we kick off a brand-new month, we will see some changes in our forecast, including rain and cooler temps.

A cold front will cross the region Tuesday afternoon with some rain showers.

Relief efforts are underway, with government agencies and aid organizations like the American Red Cross, Samaritan's Purse, and the Salvation Army providing assistance.

Helene left a trail of widespread damage across the U.S. Southeast, killing at least 120 people and hundreds of others still unaccounted for.

One Asheville, North Carolina resident sounded the alarm as his community battles the devastation left by Hurricane Helene, detailing the "apocalyptic weekend" as the death toll continues to rise while millions are left without power and water. 

Tropical Storm Kirk (formerly Tropical Depression 12) formed over the Atlantic Ocean Monday morning and is forecast to become a "large and powerful hurricane" later this week, the National Hurricane Center said.

An East Tennessee police department is grieving the tragic loss of a K-9 officer who was swept away by the devastating flash floods that ravaged the region in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

A drier day is on tap ahead of more seasonal temperatures in Metro Detroit this week.

The death toll continues to climb and some 2.5 million people remained without power Sunday as recovery in the Southeast US begins from devastating Hurricane Helene.

Hurricane Helene’s remnants have dropped between a foot and two feet of rainfall in western North Carolina, devastating Asheville and other mountainous communities.

The Southeast is still reeling from Hurricane Helene's deadly punch, but attention will soon need to return to the Caribbean as the tropics’ next act begins to brew, with steadily increasing odds of another tropical system developing within the next week.
