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.

Impacts from Hurricane Humberto and Invest 94L on the US remain difficult to predict, but risks along the coast between Florida and NC are increasing.

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

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.

HERE'S WHAT'S The ninth named storm of the 2025 hurricane season is expected to form this weekend. An area of low pressure which is currently Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine(PTC9) is expected to organize and strengthen.

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.
