School districts on Wednesday notified parents that they’re evaluating whether or not classes will be held Thursday in South Florida. They’re making that decision as the region faces stormy weather due to Hurricane Helene passing to the west on a track toward Florida’s Big Bend region.

Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties as well as the Upper Keys as Tropical Storm Helene continues to strengthen.  This is in addition to the existing tropical storm warnings for the Gulf coast from Flamingo north to the Anclote River and for the Lower and Middle Keys.
