Overview

• The National Hurricane Center reported Imelda at 65 mph Monday evening and forecast a sharp east‑northeast turn with hurricane strength likely by Tuesday.
• Category 4 Hurricane Humberto, near 140 mph, is influencing Imelda’s track and sending large swells toward the U.S. East Coast.
• High surf, life‑threatening rip currents and small‑craft advisories span parts of Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas, with multiple water rescues and one drowning reported in Volusia County.
• Heavy rain and localized impacts were reported in the northern Caribbean, including evacuations in Cuba and at least one death in Santiago de Cuba, while parts of the Bahamas closed schools and government offices under tropical storm warnings.
• Bermuda is under storm watches as both systems pass nearby this week, and local authorities urged residents to prepare as forecasters monitor how close Imelda may approach.
