Storm surge from the Volusia/Brevard County line in Florida to the South Santee River in South Carolina could be 1 to 2 feet. Swells generated by Imelda are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. A high risk for life-threatening rip currents.

The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is heating up but so far storms seem to be avoiding Florida. Why? Has it happened before?

Hurricane Imelda is churning off the East Coast creating High Surf Advisories through Thursday from the Outer Banks of North Carolina down to eastern Florida, covering more than 800 miles of coastline.

South Florida stays breezy on Tuesday with wind gusts as high as 25 to 30 mph. The chance of rain will be lower Tuesday due to drier air filtering in across South Florida as Imelda continues to lift northward. It will eventually move northeastward away from the U.S.

Tropical Storm Imelda's track is coming more into focus with the storm now expected to be tugged out to sea. However, the Southeast coast will still see impacts, such as heavy rain, coastal flooding and dangerous surf.

The Treasure Coast is expecting minimal beach erosion caused by Hurricane Imelda. Imelda became a Category 1 hurricane Sept. 30. The National Weather Service is warning beachgoers to stay out of the water.
