Overview

• The National Hurricane Center says Imelda is a Category 1 system and, influenced by larger Hurricane Humberto in a Fujiwhara‑type interaction, is forecast to turn east‑northeast with its core staying offshore of the Southeast U.S.
• Bermuda is under hurricane alerts as officials prepare for a close pass after Humberto, with forecasts calling for strong winds, heavy rain and hazardous seas midweek.
• In the Bahamas, authorities closed most schools and ordered some evacuations; a tropical storm alert for the northwest islands was lifted early Tuesday after the storm moved away, though power outages were reported.
• Cuba reports severe flooding and landslides in the east, with the prime minister citing two deaths in Santiago de Cuba, more than 18,000 evacuees and 17 isolated communities affecting over 24,000 residents.
• U.S. impacts are centered on dangerous surf, rip currents and coastal flooding from Florida to the Carolinas, including a confirmed drowning of a 51‑year‑old man in Volusia County, Florida.
