Description
The National Hurricane Center and the 10 Tampa Bay Weather team are continuing to track Tropical Storm Imelda and Hurricane Humberto as they move through the Atlantic.
Humberto is forecast to weaken over the next several days, although it's expected to remain a dangerous, major hurricane into Tuesday. Imelda is expected to continue strengthening, becoming a hurricane by Tuesday. Both storms, however, are forecast to take sharp right turns out to sea and away from the U.S.
Tropical Storm Imelda track
As of the latest advisory, Tropical Storm Imelda is located about 200 miles east of Cape Canaveral. It has maximum sustained winds of 65 mph and is moving north at 9 mph.
Imelda is expected to continue moving north through Monday night before taking a sharp right turn toward the east-northeast and accelerating.
"Imelda is forecast to become a hurricane on Tuesday morning," the National Hurricane Center wrote.
While it's moving away from the U.S., Imelda is forecast to approach Bermuda on Wednesday, NHC forecasters said.
Will Imelda affect Florida?
Imelda is set to bring 1-2 inches of rain Monday night across northeast Florida, coastal South Carolina, and coastal sections of southeast North Carolina. This rain could result in isolated flash flooding.
Imelda is also generating swells along the east coast of the U.S. that could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
Hurricane Humberto track
Hurricane Humberto is producing dangerous surf and rip currents for Bermuda and most of the east coast of the U.S. as a Category 4 storm.
As of the latest advisory, Humberto is about 295 miles southwest of Bermuda with maximum sustained winds of 140 mph. It's moving north-northwest at 13 mph.
Humberto is expected to pass Bermuda on Tuesday as a Category 3 hurricane before weakening to a Category 2 hurricane as it pushes east of the island. Forecasters say it will then turn to the northeast through midweek, heading into the open Atlantic.
Swells from Humberto are expected to continue affecting the beaches of the northern Caribbean, Bahamas, Bermuda and much of the east coast of the U.S. over the next several days.
