Unlike previous storms that made landfall over Cuba or Puerto Rico, Helene is expected to remain over open waters until reaching the Gulf Coast. This will allow the storm to intensify rapidly, fueled by the warm waters of the Gulf. Historical precedents like Hurricanes Ike and Irma suggest that Helene could maintain hurricane-force winds well into the mainland United States.
