Hurricanes Imelda and Humberto Churn in Atlantic, Posing Threats to Florida and Beyond
30 Sep
Summary
- Hurricane Imelda strengthened into a hurricane on September 30, 2025
- Hurricane Humberto weakened from a Category 4 to a Category 2 storm
- Dangerous surf and rip currents expected along the U.S. East Coast
On September 30, 2025, the National Hurricane Center continues to track two active hurricanes in the Atlantic: Hurricane Humberto and Hurricane Imelda. Imelda strengthened into a hurricane as expected off the coast of Florida on September 30, while Humberto lost significant strength, dropping from a Category 4 storm to a Category 2 storm overnight.
Despite Imelda's strengthening, it is forecast to be pulled away from Florida and the U.S. by Hurricane Humberto. However, both storms are expected to continue impacting the region, with dangerous surf conditions, gusty winds, and outer rain bands affecting the east-central coast of Florida on September 30. Swells from Humberto are also likely to bring hazardous surf and life-threatening rip current conditions to much of the East Coast over the next several days.
The National Weather Service has warned residents along Florida's east coast to expect excessive rainfall and other indirect impacts from the two hurricanes. Officials continue to encourage Florida residents to prepare for storms, even as the storms are forecast to remain off the coast, as it only takes one storm to significantly impact a community.
