Imelda Becomes a Hurricane as Bermuda Issues Warning, With Humberto Weakening and Driving East Coast Rip Currents

A Fujiwhara-like interaction is steering Imelda away from the U.S., focusing impacts on Bermuda.

Overview

  • The National Hurricane Center says Imelda has strengthened into a hurricane, with a hurricane warning in effect for Bermuda and additional intensification expected as it nears the island Wednesday into Thursday.
  • Humberto has weakened to Category 2 strength and is forecast to pass west and then north of Bermuda before transitioning into a strong extratropical system on Wednesday.
  • Swells from both storms are spreading across the Bahamas and much of the U.S. East Coast, creating life‑threatening surf and rip current conditions through at least midweek according to the NHC.
  • High surf advisories and rip current alerts are in place for parts of Florida and the Mid‑Atlantic, with forecasters warning of dangerous marine conditions for small craft.
  • UK meteorologists are monitoring the remnants for a possible deep low late this week that could bring very strong winds and heavy rain, with any naming as Storm Amy described as uncertain.
