Overview

• Tropical Storm Imelda has 70 mph winds and is expected to become a hurricane today as it accelerates toward the east-northeast.
• A hurricane watch is in effect for Bermuda, with Imelda forecast to approach the island late Wednesday, according to the National Hurricane Center.
• Hurricane Humberto, now near 100 mph and located west of Bermuda, is expected to pass west of and then north of the island today into Wednesday.
• The NHC says Humberto will continue to weaken and transition into a strong extratropical system on Wednesday.
• Forecasters caution that large swells will drive dangerous rip currents and surf across Bermuda, the northern Caribbean, the Bahamas, and much of the U.S. East Coast, and U.K. outlets are monitoring a low-confidence possibility that Humberto’s remnants could reach the region later this week.
