Humberto is now a hurricane and the National Hurricane Center warns risks of impacts to Southeastern coast from two looming storms.
Hurricane Humberto is forecast to become a major hurricane this weekend and a second system — likely to become Imelda — is a possible threat to the U.S. coast, especially the Carolinas.
The next named storm, Imelda, is just on the cusp of developing behind Hurricane Humberto. Together they could create a rare, complex weather pattern.
As the National Hurricane Center tracks Hurricane Humberto, it's watching a tropical wave likely to become Tropical Storm Imelda.
Two tropical systems will churn near each other in the Atlantic, with Humberto forecast to strengthen and a second storm possibly forming as Imelda, raising risks of flooding and damaging winds in the United States. The Fujiwhara Effect is more common in the western Pacific because of the higher number and often large size of tropical cyclones.
The Fujiwhara effect is making it difficult for forecasters to predict who could be affected by Hurricane Humberto or Invest 94L. What to know.
