Hurricane Helene Tracker: Remnants could bring showers to NYC, Tri-State this weekend

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Hurricane Helene weakened into a tropical storm over Georgia early Friday after making landfall overnight in northwestern Florida as a Category 4 storm.

Authorities rescued people trapped by floodwaters and more than 3 million customers were in the dark across much of the southeastern U.S.

The Eyewitness News AccuWeather Team says the storm will head north and west before stalling out around the Tennessee and Ohio River Valley.

Some of the moisture will make its way east sparking a chance for some showers in our area over the weekend.

Areas south and west of New York City will have a better chance of seeing moisture on Saturday into Sunday.
