Tropical Disturbances Threaten Florida as Hurricane Season Peaks
2 Oct
Summary
- Hurricane Imelda impacts Bermuda with hurricane-force winds and flooding
- Two new tropical disturbances being tracked, one expected to hit Florida
- Dangerous beach conditions from Florida to New York due to Humberto and Imelda
As of October 2nd, 2025, Hurricane Imelda has moved away from Bermuda after bringing hurricane-force winds, damaging winds, and flash flooding to the island. The National Hurricane Center is now tracking two new tropical disturbances, one of which is expected to move across Florida and into the Gulf of Mexico.
While Imelda and the remnants of Hurricane Humberto pose no direct threat to the U.S. mainland, they continue to generate dangerous beach conditions from Florida to New York, including rough surf and life-threatening rip currents. Experts caution that the Atlantic hurricane season is currently at its peak, with the busiest period typically running from mid-August through mid-October.
The National Hurricane Center is closely monitoring the two new tropical disturbances. One is a tropical wave expected to move off the coast of Africa, while the other is an area of low pressure that may form near the northwestern Bahamas and southern Florida. Any development of these systems is expected to be slow, but they could still bring impacts to the region in the coming days.
