Calm weather in the forecast for continuing Helene recovery

As recovery efforts from Hurricane Helene continue across the Southeast, the weather is at least staying calm for everyone helping in the cleanup.

00:00Well, when we look back at the devastation caused by Helene, it could be easy to fall

00:06into despair.

00:07But the pieces are starting to be picked up here across Western North Carolina, especially

00:14an area hard hit by Helene.

00:16And things are looking up.

00:18And one of those ways that we are starting to pick up those pieces is this concert for

00:22Carolina.

00:23And it raised $24.5 million for hurricane victims.

00:28And this event touted some bigger names, Luke Holmes, also Keith Irvin, a Nicole Kidman

00:34appearance.

00:35So all of this money raised to help those in need across these areas.

00:39Again, we are still thinking of you.

00:42And as we head throughout Monday night with your recovery forecast, Boone, you're at 37.

00:47Even Bristol, you're at 43.

00:49So it is going to be a little bit of a chilly night, but clear.

00:51We're not necessarily tracking too much action.

00:53Similar story by Tuesday in areas like St. Petersburg, Asheville, we're at 71.

01:00And as we look at the mountain as the whole, at least the Southern Appalachians, Hickory,

01:03you're even running at 72.

01:05But you'll see those patches of sun there and some patches of clouds, of course, similar

01:09story in Asheville, but not a bad day when it comes to the recovery efforts.

01:14Further south, we could see some showers, but overall, a lot of us do remain dry here

01:19over the next day or so.

01:21We are monitoring of this situation when it does come to the St. Johns River.

01:26The good news is that a lot of these rivers have started to come down, but it is important

01:29to note that rivers across Florida do run a little flatter.

01:35They don't really have a lot of difference in elevation as they go on.

01:39And so while the St. Johns River has dropped from major, it's still in that moderate flood

01:43stage and it's going to continue to do so here over these next few days.

01:49Stick with us.
