Humberto Pulls Hurricane Imelda Toward Bermuda as East Coast Seas Turn Dangerous

NHC guidance points to a strengthening Imelda arcing east‑northeast under Humberto’s influence, shifting the greatest risk to Bermuda rather than the U.S. Southeast.

Overview

  • Imelda is a Category 1 hurricane with sustained winds near 85 mph (137–140 km/h) and is forecast to reach Category 2 strength by Wednesday night as it accelerates toward Bermuda.
  • Bermuda is under a hurricane warning, with the storm expected to bring damaging winds and 2–4 inches (50–100 mm) of rain from Wednesday into Thursday.
  • The larger, weakening Humberto remains offshore but is driving powerful swells and rip currents along much of the U.S. East Coast, with minor coastal flooding possible from Florida to North Carolina during high tide.
  • A Fujiwhara-type interaction is steering Imelda away from the U.S. Southeast, reducing inland wind and rain threats compared with earlier concerns.
  • Confirmed impacts include two deaths and evacuations in eastern Cuba, a fatal rip-current drowning in Volusia County, Florida, and severe erosion that toppled at least five unoccupied homes on North Carolina’s Outer Banks.
