Tracking Tropical Storm Imelda, Hurricane Humberto
Two tropical systems (with familiar names) are very close to each other east of Florida. Hurricane Humberto has been as major status since Friday and should remain at least a category 3 through Monday night. It will not threaten the U.S., other than helping to generate large waves. At the same time, Tropical Storm Imelda could get better organized slowly today and is not expected to make a landfall, but will bring rough waves and rain to coastal areas from Florida to South Carolina. Bother systems will likely move away from the U.S. over the next two to three days. Imelda could roll right over Bermuda by late Wednesday and Thursday. If these names sound familiar, six years ago, another Tropical Storm Imelda drenched the Houston area, especially east of Houston with several feet of rain - this caused flooding worse than Harvey in Chambers County. Hurricane Humberto was a noteworthy storm in the Gulf in 2007 when it went from a tropical depression in the morning to landfall in Port Arthur as a category 1 hurricane that night!

Topical Weather Update - Sept. 28, 2025
Tropical Storm Imelda has formed moving through the Bahamas. This system should make a turn out to the open waters of the Atlantic before making a landfall in the Southeast US. There are still concerns for impacts from Imelda on Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas.

Tropical Weather Update - Sept. 27, 2025
Hurricane Humberto continues to strengthen and has become the third major hurricane of the season. It is currently a Cat 5 with 160mph maximum sustained winds. Nine is now a Tropical Depression and will soon become a Tropical Storm and be named Imelda. Our models (including the GFS, Euro and Fox Weather Model) show that it will near the Southeast Coast of the US this week.

Future Hurricane Imelda prompts State of Emergency as Southeast coast prepares for impacts, potential landfall
Tropical storm alerts have been posted and at least one state has declared a pre-emptive state of emergency as a looming storm system is on its way to becoming future Hurricane Imelda, bringing the potential threat of heavy rain and strong winds to parts of the Southeast.

Tropical Weather Update - Sept. 25, 2025
Gabrielle has become Post-Tropical but is still expected to bring near hurricane-force winds to the Azores islands tonight and Friday. Gabrielle could also bring some wind and rain to far away places like Portugal and even northern Morocco! Elsewhere, Tropical Storm Humberto will gain strength as it moves in between the East Coast and Bermuda. On top of that, another tropical storm could form very close to Humberto near Puerto Rico. That system could be a threat anywhere from Florida to the Carolinas.

Tropical Weather Forecast - September 24, 2025
The tropics are very active, but no systems are close to Texas and none appear to be a concern. Hurricane Gabrielle is racing northeast away from Bermuda & the United States. But hurricane warnings are in effect for the Azores, where Hurricane Gabrielle will pass over Thursday night and Friday. Tropical Storm Humberto has formed in the Alantic and is expected to become a hurricane by this weekend as it moves northwest. Invest 94-L is bringing stormy weather to Puerto Rico & the Virgin Islands. There's a chance one or both of these systems could bring rain & wind from Florida to the Carolinas from this weekend through next week.

Tropical Weather Forecast - September 23, 2025
Hurricane Gabrielle has become a textbook, intense major hurricane in the Atlantic - it is not affecting land, so is just a sight to behold. Elsewhere, two tropical waves, Invest 94L & 93L, are very close together east of the Caribbean and both pose a slight risk to the East Coast of the US with no threat to Texas. In Asia, Typhoon Ragasa will pass just south of Hong Kong with 140mph winds, so the southern coast of China is bracing for high winds and very large waves.

Tropical Weather Forecast: Watching Hurricane Gabrielle, other possible storm development
Hurricane Gabrielle is passing by Bermuda today as it has blown up into a massive major category 4 hurricane. But it's moving away from the U.S. and will not affect land over the next 4 days. It is expected to roll over the Azores late Thursday and Friday with winds still around 70 miles per hour. The remnant low could bring rain to places like France or Spain in about 6-7 days. Elsewhere, we're watching two tropical waves in the Atlantic and both have a decent chance to become tropical storms this week. They are both very far from Texas and look like a concern for the East Coast from Florida to North Carolina by this weekend.

Tropical Weather update - Sept. 21 2025
Things are getting complicated in the Atlantic. Gabrielle has now been upgraded to a hurricane. This system should continue to strengthen over the next several days possibly becoming a major hurricane by midweek. The National Hurricane Center is also keeping watch on two other areas for possible development into a tropical cyclone. One tropical wave has a 50% chance to become a tropical cyclone in the next 7 days and the other area has a 20% chance.

Tropical Weather Update - September 20, 2025
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical Storm Gabrielle, located over the central subtropical Atlantic. Gabrielle should become a hurricane within the next 24 hours. A tropical wave over the eastern Atlantic is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands. While development is unlikely during the next couple of days, environmental conditions should gradually become more favorable for development of this disturbance by the middle to latter part of next week.

Tropical Weather Forecast - September 19, 2025
Gabrielle remains fairly weak and disorganized today, but could get stronger by the end of the weekend through Monday. It is forecast to become a hurricane Sunday into Monday as it gets closer to Bermuda. It is not a threat to the United States and only poses a slight risk for Bermuda as it passes east early next week. We have only had one hurricane this season so far. Other than Tropical Storm Gabrielle, there will be a couple of tropical waves that could develop in the Atlantic through the end of the month, but our computer models are not showing much to worry about.

Tropical Weather Update - Tropical Storm Gabrielle forms in the Atlantic
A large, but previously poorly organized tropical wave was upgraded to Tropical Depression 7 early this morning and Tropical Storm Gabrielle by late morning. This ended a rare nearly three week stretch from late August to mid-September of no tropical activity in the Atlantic basin. The forecast track shows it is most likely going to stay away from the U.S. East Coast. But it will likely pose some sort of risk to Bermuda, so keep checking back.

Tropical weather update: Tropical Storm Gabrielle is likely to form soon in Atlantic
Showers and thunderstorms associated INVEST 92L located about midway between the Windward Islands and the Cabo Verde Islands have become better organized since yesterday. Environmental conditions are conducive for additional development, and Tropical Storm Gabrielle is likely to form in the next day or two as the system moves west-northwestward or northwestward at 10 to 15 mph over the central tropical Atlantic.

Tropical weather forecast: Watching high chance of development in Atlantic
A broad area of low pressure has formed roughly midway between the Windward Islands and the coast of west Africa. This system has become better organized since yesterday and is expected to move through a favorable environment for further development. A tropical depression or tropical storm is likely to form by the middle to latter part of this week as the system moves west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph over the central tropical Atlantic.

Tropical Weather Update - September 14, 2025
A tropical wave over the eastern tropical Atlantic is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Although dry and stable air is expected to limit development during the next day or so, gradual development is anticipated thereafter, and a tropical cyclone is likely to form during the middle part of this week as the system moves west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph over the central tropical Atlantic.
