Imelda Weakens, New Storm Looms Over Bahamas and South Florida
2 Oct, 2025
Summary
- Hurricane Imelda expected to weaken into post-tropical system
- Tropical wave off Africa has 20% chance of developing next week
- Low-pressure system near Bahamas and South Florida being monitored
As of October 2nd, 2025, Channel 9 meteorologists are continuing to monitor the progress of Hurricane Imelda after it moved over Bermuda overnight. Imelda currently has maximum sustained winds around 85 mph and is moving east-northeast at 30 mph.
The forecasters predict that Imelda will weaken into a post-tropical system on Thursday as it travels over cooler Atlantic waters. This comes as a tropical wave is expected to move off the coast of Africa in the coming days, with a 20% chance of developing into a storm next week.
Closer to home, a developing low-pressure system near the Bahamas and South Florida is also being closely watched, though it currently has only a 10% chance of further development. While the chance of this system strengthening is low at the moment, meteorologists will continue to monitor the situation, as conditions can change rapidly.
