Tropical Storm Imelda Steered Away from U.S. Southeast
29 Sep, 2025
Summary
- Imelda expected to move across Bahamas, then turn east
- Hurricane Humberto's influence pulls Imelda out to sea
- Southeast U.S. spared from potential Imelda landfall
As of September 29th, 2025, Tropical Storm Imelda is expected to track across the northwestern Bahamas on Monday, followed by a sharp turn to the east-northeast on Tuesday. This shift in Imelda's path will move the storm away from the southeastern United States by the middle of the week.
Previous computer models had suggested Imelda could potentially track toward the U.S. Southeast Coast. However, meteorologists now indicate that the size and strength of Hurricane Humberto will exert more influence on Imelda's development, causing it to be pulled out to sea and away from the East Coast.
"The expected interaction between the two storms should spare the Southeast from a landfall," said AccuWeather senior meteorologist Renee Duff in an advisory shared on Sunday. This means the U.S. East Coast, particularly the Southeast region, is no longer under threat from Tropical Storm Imelda.
