Atlantic Under Siege: Imelda Intensifies Toward Bermuda, Humberto Lashes Island Nation
Tropical Storm Imelda is rapidly strengthening in the Atlantic, projected to reach Category 1 hurricane status today, Tuesday, September 30th, and further intensify to a Category 2 hurricane by Wednesday evening as it nears Bermuda. While not expected to make landfall in the United States, Imelda continues to skirt the Southeast coast, bringing significant rainfall, high surf, and dangerous rip currents.
Coastal areas from Florida to the Mid-Atlantic are experiencing life-threatening rip currents and high surf alerts. Waves are forecast to reach 7 to 11 feet in Florida and Georgia through today, Tuesday, and up to 5 to 10 feet in the Carolinas and Virginia from today through Thursday.
Meanwhile, Hurricane Humberto, a powerful Category 4 storm, is currently delivering heavy rain and formidable winds to Bermuda today, Tuesday, September 30th, before continuing its track northeastward into the open Atlantic.
