Imelda and Humberto Keep Dangerous Surf Along East Coast as Small Craft Advisory Is Extended Through Saturday

Strengthening northeasterly flow will bring gusty conditions with a minor flooding risk through Friday.

Overview

  • Both storms remain offshore and are moving away from the U.S., each holding Category 1 intensity.
  • High surf and rip-current dangers persist, with breakers of 6 to 10 feet creating hazardous beach conditions.
  • Northeasterly winds are forecast at 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 30 to 35 mph, strongest near the coast.
  • Minor coastal and tidal flooding is possible through Friday, with minor flooding expected Wednesday afternoon in parts of the Mid-Atlantic.
  • Rain has been light so far, with most areas under a quarter inch today, and forecasts call for limited showers Wednesday, scattered showers Thursday, and rounds of rain Friday.
