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!
