Currently my thinking of Tropical Storm Helene is that the ridge may build but not enough for helene to make it across the atlantic. Helene may be a threat to Bermuda or the Northeastern islands. the steerring currents bring it very close to the islands but a deep trough will pick it up and bring it close to bermuda or just to the east. Its a little early to forecast the direction after that but i think it will be in the general direction of the Azores.
For the next 5 days I think it will reach 100 mph +/-5mph at the end of the 5 days with a pressure approximently 988-990mb. it should continue at its current speed until it gets closer to the trough.
