A complicated forecast scenario continues to unfold Friday near the Bahamas as Hurricane Humberto intensifies and a system that is expected to become Imelda develops, strengthens and moves east of the Florida coast.

Strengthening Humberto and developing Imelda staying just off our coast will have some coastal impacts of large swells next week.

If Humberto becomes a major hurricane as expected, it will be the first time since 1935 when a season's first three storms were Category 3 or higher.

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.

We now have the first track for Potential Tropical Cyclone 9, or what is expected to become Tropical Storm Imelda. Humberto is rapidly intensifying and is expected to become a major hurricane by Saturday.

Humberto – the 8th named storm of the hurricane season – formed Monday afternoon over the central Atlantic and is forecast to become a major (Category 3 or stronger) hurricane by Monday as it turns east of the U.

As the National Hurricane Center tracks Hurricane Humberto, it's watching a tropical wave likely to become Tropical Storm Imelda.

A new tropical system may hit the Carolinas as a hurricane next week, bringing significant flooding with it. The system -- which will be named Imelda -- could strengthen to a tropical storm on Saturday and may become a hurricane on Sunday or Monday.
