Imelda Strengthens Into a Hurricane, Heads Toward Bermuda
Imelda is forecast to become the fourth hurricane of the season by Tuesday near Bermuda, bringing heavy rain and rip currents to the Bahamas and U.S. East Coast.
- On Tuesday, the National Hurricane Center says Tropical Storm Imelda is expected to become a hurricane as it organizes past the northwestern Bahamas.
- Low wind shear and warm ocean waters are accelerating Imelda's intensification, and favorable conditions should persist through Wednesday, enabling further strengthening, National Hurricane Center meteorologists say.
- NHC advisories show Tropical Storm Imelda's sustained winds near 65 mph and its center about 240–265 miles east-southeast of Cape Canaveral, moving north at 7–9 mph with Tropical Storm Warnings for the Northwestern Bahamas.
- Coastal communities from Florida to the Carolinas should expect heavy rain and possible flash flooding, with two deaths in Cuba reported by Prime Minister Manuel Marrero and a drowning confirmed by Volusia County Sheriff's Office.
- With Hurricane Humberto nearby, forecasters say Imelda will be steered east; National Hurricane Center spaghetti models show increasing confidence it will turn toward Bermuda and become extratropical by Friday.
