Tropical Storm Imelda Veers East, Humberto Remains Powerful Hurricane

On September 30, 2025, Tropical Storm Imelda continues to advance in the Atlantic, with the National Hurricane Center (NHC) forecasting it could reach hurricane strength by the following day. As of the early morning hours, Imelda was located at 25.5°N, 77.1°W, moving north at 8 mph with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph.

While Imelda is expected to skirt the United States mainland, its proximity could still affect coastal areas along the Southeast, including Florida, with elevated surf and scattered showers. Meteorologists note that Imelda's trajectory has shifted eastward, influenced by the presence of the powerful Hurricane Humberto. Humberto recently reached Category 5 strength over the weekend, with sustained winds of 160 mph, and has since weakened to a Category 4 storm during an eyewall replacement cycle.
