Imelda Expected to Bring Heavy Rain, Tropical Storm Conditions to Bahamas, Threaten Carolinas
Tropical Storm Imelda is forecast to develop near the Bahamas this weekend, moving northwestward and potentially bringing tropical storm conditions to the northwestern and central Bahamas. South Florida is expected to experience minor impacts such as rough surf, scattered showers, and gusty winds, but the worst effects are predicted to remain offshore. The storm is projected to strengthen and could make landfall in the Carolinas as a Category 1 hurricane as early as Monday, though its exact path remains uncertain due to its proximity to Hurricane Humberto. Forecasters warn that the interaction between Imelda and Humberto, a rare phenomenon known as the Fujiwhara effect, could affect Imelda's trajectory, possibly causing it to stall or drift. Rainfall predictions for the Carolinas vary, with some models forecasting up to 12 inches, raising concerns about potential flooding, although current estimates are generally lower. Officials urge caution but emphasize that forecasts will become clearer once the storm forms and more data become available.
