Tropical Storm Imelda Likely to Form as Humberto Nears Hurricane Strength

Tropical Storm Humberto is strengthening in the central Atlantic and is expected to become the season’s third hurricane.

The storm is moving northwest, posing no threat to the Leeward Islands or the Caribbean.

Humberto could bring some impacts to Bermuda early next week but is unlikely to directly affect the U.S.

Another system is expected to develop soon, which would be named Imelda, and it may pose a greater risk to the Southeast U.S. and the Bahamas.

Forecasters caution that uncertainty remains, and updates will be provided as the forecast becomes clearer.
