Tropical Storm and Hurricane Pose Risks to Florida's East Coast

As of September 29th, 2025, two powerful weather systems are developing in the Atlantic Ocean, posing a threat to Florida's east coast. A tropical storm and a hurricane, both of which have been named Tropical Storm 9 and Hurricane Humberto, are expected to bring dangerous marine conditions and rip currents to the region.

The National Weather Service has issued various warnings and advisories for parts of Florida's east coast, urging locals not to swim in the ocean due to the high surf and risk of rip currents. These conditions are expected to spread northward along the east coast of the United States early this week.

While the risk of significant wind impacts along the southeastern U.S. coast is decreasing, residents in the affected areas are advised to continue monitoring the latest forecast updates. Tropical Depression 9 is expected to move north past Florida around 8 p.m. ET on Sunday, continuing toward Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Meanwhile, Hurricane Humberto, which has reached Category 5 status with winds of 160 mph, is projected to shift north-northwest on Tuesday night, weakening as it passes near Bermuda before breaking down further into the Atlantic later in the week.
