Tropical Storm Imelda Nears Bahamas, Miami Faces Rain Bands

Tropical Storm Imelda formed and is expected to strengthen and remain offshore Florida, bringing indirect impacts like scattered showers, gusty winds, and localized flooding to South Florida, especially Miami. The storm is moving northward near the Bahamas, where heavy rain and strong winds are forecast, with some areas expecting up to eight inches of rain. Tropical storm watches and warnings are in effect along parts of Florida's east coast and offshore waters, with the storm predicted to pass east of the southeastern U.S. coast. Meanwhile, Hurricane Humberto remains a powerful Category 4 (or Category 5 in some reports) storm farther out in the Atlantic, influencing Imelda's slower track and potentially sparing the U.S. coast from a direct hit. Residents in Florida and the Bahamas are urged to monitor weather updates closely as the storm system progresses through Sunday and Monday. Miami's weather over the next few days will include a mix of sun, clouds, thunderstorms, and breezy conditions due to the outer bands of Imelda.
