Hurricane Imelda, Hurricane Humberto: Timeline, Florida impacts
FOX 35 meteorologist T.J. Springer has the latest on Hurricane Imelda and Hurricane Humberto in the Atlantic. Here is the latest on their track, paths, and potential impacts to Florida.
ORLANDO, Fla. - The National Hurricane Center (NHC) still has its eyes peeled on both Hurricane Imelda and Hurricane Humberto, which were expected to bring life-threatening impacts to Florida's East Coast beaches through Thursday.
Tracking Hurricane Imelda
What we know:
A Hurricane Warning is now in effect for Bermuda in advance of potential impacts from Hurricane Imelda, which became a Category 1 hurricane on Tuesday morning as the storm moved along the Southeastern U.S. coast.
As of Tuesday evening, the NHC said Hurricane Imelda was located about 665 miles west-southwest of Bermuda.
Imelda was moving toward the northeast near 12 mph. This general motion is expected on Tuesday, followed by a turn towards the east-northeast at a faster forward speed by Tuesday night.
Forecasters said maximum sustained winds for the storm were near 85 mph with higher gusts, and hurricane-force winds extended outward up to 60 miles from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure of Imelda was 978 mb.
Local perspective:
A Hurricane Warning is currently in effect for Bermuda, which means that hurricane conditions are possible within the area.

Forecasters say minor coastal flooding is possible in areas of onshore winds and heavy rain over the Southeastern U.S. coastline.
"Spotty showers and tropical downpours continue to circulate around Imelda and inland across Central Florida. The higher chances remain near the beaches, but we still can't rule out isolated showers tonight around Orlando," said FOX 35 Storm Team Meteorologist TJ Springer. "The wind stays elevated into the overnight as well with gusts around 20–30 mph. Imelda continues to work eastbound away from the East Coast overnight with drier air starting to filter in."
Swells generated by Imelda are also affecting the Bahamas and are currently spreading to much of the U.S. East Coast. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
"Conditions midweek drastically improve even though it'll still be breezy to even windy at times. We'll see more sunshine as Imelda continues to depart," Springer added. "The stronger wind and the proximity of Imelda to the coast still leads to intense surf and a high rip current risk. With the wind coming in from the north-northeast, drier air is working in and that will limit our chances of rain on Wednesday."
However, wave heights will continue to rise through Thursday.
What's next:
On the forecast track, the center of the system should move away from the Bahamas Tuesday and quickly be approaching Bermuda late on Wednesday.

Tropical Storm Imelda impacting Florida's East Coast
Tropical Storm Imelda is forecast to become a hurricane on Tuesday as the storm meanders off the Southeastern U.S. coast. Forecasters say minor coastal flooding is possible in areas of onshore winds over the Southeastern U.S. coastline. Swells generated by Imelda are also currently spreading to much of the U.S. East Coast. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. FOX 35's Amanda Ruiz walks us through the potential storm impacts.
Tracking Hurricane Humberto
What we know:
The NHC downgraded Hurricane Humberto to a Category 1 storm early Tuesday evening after it underwent rapid intensification over the weekend and became a monster Category 5 hurricane.
As of Tuesday evening, the NHC said Hurricane Humberto was located about 295 miles west-northwest of Bermuda.
Humberto was moving toward the north near 17 mph. A turn to the north is expected late Tuesday.
Forecasters said maximum sustained winds decreased to near 80 mph with higher gusts, and hurricane-force winds extended outward up to 60 miles from the center of the storm with tropical-storm-force winds extending outward up to 230 miles. The estimated minimum central pressure of Humberto is 979 mb.
Local perspective:
The NHC says gusty winds are possible in Bermuda Tuesday night and Wednesday in outer rainbands. Interests in Bermuda should continue to follow the latest forecasts for both Humberto and Imelda.
Swells from Humberto are likely to cause dangerous surf and life-threatening rip current conditions, affecting beaches of the Northern Caribbean, Bahamas, Bermuda and much of the East Coast of the U.S. over the next several days.
What's next:
Forecasters say a much faster northeast or east-northeast motion is expected on Wednesday and Thursday.
On the forecast track, the center of Humberto will pass west of and then north of Bermuda Tuesday and Wednesday.
Humberto is expected to become a strong extratropical system on Wednesday.
