Hurricane Imelda Closes In On Bermuda As Humberto's Remnant Heads Toward Europe
Hurricane Imelda is closing in on Bermuda just one day after Humberto brushed the islands Tuesday. Both storms will continue to generate high surf, rip currents and some coastal flooding along parts of the East Coast the next few days.
The National Hurricane Center is tracking two hurricanes and two tropical waves in the Atlantic. We're in the busiest time of hurricane season.
Hurricane Humberto showed rapid intensification and became a Category 5 storm at the 5 p.m. Saturday advisory from the National Hurricane Center. Humberto is now a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.
Predictions on how Humberto could affect Florida and the U.S. are difficult due to the Fujiwhara effect. Humberto strengthened rapidly on Sept. 26 and is now a major Category 3 hurricane, according to the latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center.
While Imelda is expected to move away from Florida and the United States, dangerous beach conditions, including rough surf, high seas and life-threatening rip currents are expected to continue spreading from Florida north to much of the U.S. east coast, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Hurricane Humberto is generating dangerous surf and rip currents that will persist along the western Atlantic coastline throughout the week. As of the 5 a.m. advisory, the NHC said Humberto is moving northeast at about 14 mph and is located approximately 280 miles north-northwest of Bermuda.
Effects from Hurricane Humberto and Invest 94L on the US remain difficult to predict, but risks along the coast between Florida and NC are rising.
