Overview

• Tropical Depression Nine is forecast to strengthen into Imelda and approach the Southeast coast early next week, with its exact path still uncertain.
• Forecasters note a possible Fujiwhara-style interaction with powerful Hurricane Humberto that could nudge Imelda either closer to the coast or out to sea.
• The National Hurricane Center has tropical storm warnings across parts of the Bahamas and a watch along Florida’s east coast, with dangerous surf and rip currents expected.
• Humberto peaked at Category 5 and remains a major hurricane offshore, likely sending high surf to Bermuda and portions of the U.S. East Coast.
• Carolinas and nearby areas could see periods of heavy rain Monday into Wednesday, with localized 2–3 inch totals and gusts near 20–35 mph, while many inland locales remain near 80°F and largely dry until a midweek cooldown.
