Imelda will gradually weaken and become post-tropical as it speeds across the North Atlantic.

Imelda will gradually weaken and become post-tropical as it speeds across the North Atlantic. There are currently no direct threats to land. 
 
As of 11 a.m. AST, Hurricane Imelda was located near 33.2N and 59.5W, or about 315 miles east-northeast of Bermuda. Maximum sustained winds continue to decrease to 75 mph, making it a Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Scale. It is moving to the east-northeast at 29 mph and has a minimum central pressure of 980 mb, or 28.94 inches of mercury. 
 
There are no longer any active watches or warnings in effect. 
 
Imelda should become post-tropical today as it gets swept up into the mid-latitude flow and moves over cooler waters. It will take a turn to the northeast this weekend, keeping it far away from land. 
 
Gusty winds will gradually subside across Bermuda today. There could also still be occasional rounds of moderate to heavy rain. Distant swells generated by Imelda are affecting the Bahamas, Bermuda and much of the U.S. East Coast. Swells from Imelda will also spread toward the Greater Antilles and the northern Leeward Islands on Friday and continue through the weekend. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening and rip current conditions. 
 
With the tropical season heating up, it&rsquo;s time to prepare for the season. Start organizing portable phone chargers, a radio, batteries, non-perishable food, water, and blankets into an evacuation kit now. While the weather is fair in your area, take the opportunity to scout out multiple evacuation routes from your area in case your preferred route is traffic-jammed or blocked.

Hurricane Imelda Moves Into Open Waters

Hurricane Humberto is a Category 1 storm as it moves through the Atlantic.

Hurricane Humberto weakens to a Category 1 storm in the western Atlantic, and it expects to lose its tropical characteristics later this morning. 
 
As of 5 a.m. AST, Humberto was located near 35.8N and 67.3W, or about 280 miles north-northwest of Bermuda. Its maximum sustained winds have decreased to 80 mph. Humberto is moving towards the northeast at 14 mph with a minimum central pressure of 979 mb or 28.91 inches of mercury. 
 
There are currently no watches or warnings in effect related to Humberto. 
 
Hurricane Humberto has made its expected northeastward turn through the open Atlantic. This path would have Humberto moving northeast of Bermuda today, with the center remaining well offshore. However, Humberto is expected to lose its tropical characteristics later this morning as it transforms into an extratropical storm, merging with an offshore frontal boundary. 
 
Despite no direct impacts to land and losing its hurricane status, its rough swells will still affect portions of the northern Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda. In addition, the East Coast will see rough swells associated with Humberto as well as Tropical Storm Imelda. These swells can trigger life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. 
 
With the tropical season heating up, it&rsquo;s time to prepare for the season. Start organizing portable phone chargers, a radio, batteries, non-perishable food, water, and blankets into an evacuation kit now. While the weather is fair in your area, take the opportunity to scout out multiple evacuation routes from your area in case your preferred route is traffic-jammed or blocked.

Humberto Becoming Extratropical in West-Atlantic

Fernand continues to weaken as it moves through the northern Atlantic Ocean.

Fernand continues to weaken as it moves through the northern Atlantic Ocean. 
&nbsp; 
As of 5 a.m. AST/EDT, Tropical Storm Fernand was located near 37.0N, 55.2W, or 635 miles east-northeast of Bermuda. The system has maximum sustained winds of 45 mph, with a minimum central pressure of 1005 mb or 29.68 inches of mercury. It is moving to the northeast at 14 mph. 
&nbsp; 
As Fernand continues to move over colder waters, further weakening is expected today before dissipating on Wednesday.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
We are coming very close to the peak of the hurricane season, which is climatologically the second week of September. If you haven&rsquo;t already, now is the time to prepare for the hurricane season. Have a &ldquo;go&rdquo; bag ready with chargers, water, food and other necessities. Also, take the time to scope out multiple evacuation routes, in case your preferred one is traffic-jammed or blocked.

Tropical Storm Fernand Weakening

Hurricane Erin has lost its tropical characteristics, but remains a very powerful storm in the west-central Atlantic.

Hurricane Erin has lost its tropical characteristics, but remains a very powerful storm in the west-central Atlantic. 
&nbsp; 
As of 5 p.m. AST/EDT, Hurricane Erin was located near 40.0 N and 59.7 W, or about 605 miles north-northeast of Bermuda, and 375 miles south-southeast of Halifax, N.S., in Canada. Despite no longer being tropical, Erin is still packing top winds of 90 mph. It is moving northeast at 33 mph and has a minimum central pressure of 957 mb, or 28.26 inches of mercury. 
&nbsp; 
As Erin has been moving across the Atlantic, a warm and cold front have developed from the storm&rsquo;s center. This is typically the last step in determining that a tropical storm is no longer tropical. That said, Erin&rsquo;s impact on shipping interests remains quite high. Its strong winds are likely to whip the ocean to 20 to 40 foot wave heights. 
&nbsp; 
Closer to shore, the book isn&rsquo;t closed on Erin. The strong waves from the storm will likely cause rip currents throughout the weekend, making it dangerous to swim along the beaches of the Eastern Seaboard. High tide is likely to produce some coastal flooding, especially from the New Jersey shore to Maine. 
&nbsp; 
Although Erin is now out of the picture, we are coming very close to the peak of the hurricane season. If you haven&rsquo;t already, now is the time to prepare for the hurricane season. Have a &ldquo;go&rdquo; bag ready with chargers, water, food and other necessities. Also, take the time to scope out multiple evacuation routes, in case your preferred one is traffic-jammed or blocked.

Erin Loses Tropical Characteristics Over Central Atlantic

Dexter is forecast to become post-tropical by Thursday as it slowly strengthens and travels across the North Atlantic away from the U.S.

Tropical Storm Dexter is forecast to become a powerful post-tropical storm by Thursday as it slowly strengthens and travels across the North Atlantic away from the U.S. Dexter will remain a threat to shipping lanes. 
 
As of 11 p.m. AST, Tropical Storm Dexter was located at 40.2N and 54.2W, or about 450 miles south of Cape Race, Newfoundland. Dexter has top winds of 50 mph and is tracking east at 17 mph. The minimum central pressure is 999 mb, or 29.50 inches of mercury. 
 
Dexter will accelerate east and northeastward into the North Atlantic through Saturday, remaining over open waters. Dexter will likely become post-tropical on Thursday while traversing cooler water and an increasingly unfavorable environment. 
 
This system is not the only disturbance that the National Hurricane Center is highlighting. Another low pressure system may form in this storm&rsquo;s wake, also likely to zoom northeastward in the following days. Finally, a tropical disturbance in the central Atlantic is being watched for development, with a good chance that it will also be joining the ranks of the 2025 hurricane list. 
&nbsp; 
There have only been four named storms thus far, although it is not unusual for the season to start slowly. The peak of the hurricane center is still five weeks away, and the majority of tropical storms tend to be concentrated around that climatological peak. 
&nbsp; 
Regardless of whether or not there is tropical development, this is the time to prepare for the hurricane season. Have a &ldquo;go-bag&rdquo; ready with chargers, water, food and other necessities. Also, take the time to scope out multiple evacuation routes, in case your preferred one is traffic-jammed or blocked.

Tropical Storm Dexter Swirls Over The Open Atlantic

Tropical Storm Chantal has made landfall in northeastern South Carolina this morning

Tropical Storm Chantal made landfall near Huntington Beach in northeastern South Carolina this morning. Now a tropical depression, it will continue to weaken rapidly as it moves over the Carolinas. 
 
As of 11 a.m. EDT, Tropical Depression Chantal was located near 34.4 N and 79.2 W, about 20 miles northwest of Lumberton, N.C., or 80 miles west of Wilmington, N.C. Chantal is packing top sustained winds of 35 mph and is moving north at 9 mph. It has a minimum central pressure of 1007 mb, or 29.74 inches of mercury. 
 
Tropical Depression Chantal will track to north today and will eventually make a turn to the north-northeast tonight into early Monday morning. Chantal will continue to weaken over the next 24 hours, likely becoming a remnant low pressure system tonight. It would then dissipate completely by Monday afternoon. 
 
Despite weakening, Chantal will bring heavy rainfall and gusty winds across parts of the Carolinas into the Mid-Atlantic. Rain amounts of 2 to 4 inches with locally 6 inches are possible near the coast. An elevated risk for flash flooding will continue into Monday. Some leftover rain could occur in eastern Virginia into southern Maryland and Delaware on Monday. Rain amounts will generally be less than an inch. 
 
Wind gusts of 35 to 45 mph will occur along the South Carolina and southeastern North Carolina coasts. Isolated tornadoes and waterspouts cannot be ruled out throughout the day today. Life-threatening rip currents will be possible over portions of the East Coast from northeastern Florida to the Mid-Atlantic states today and Monday.&nbsp; 
 
It is time to prepare for the hurricane season. Create a hurricane evacuation box now, before the storm, with bottled water, extra cell phone chargers, food and clothing. Scope out multiple different evacuation routes in case your preferred route is blocked or traffic jammed.
