PTC9: Some good trends this morning. Models trending towards the storm stalling off of the SC coast then turning east and out to sea. Still a rainmaker, but if it stalls further out that'll drastically drop the rainfall totals. Still will see a bunch of rain but 20"+ not expected on this track.

The forecast for Imelda (PTC9) is very uncertain especially Mon-Wed as it crawls toward the South Carolina coast, but if that does happen, major flooding is possible with many coastal areas seeing 15-25" of rain next week!

The track and intensity are still undetermined, but everyone from Georgia to North Carolina needs to watch this. Inland flooding could be huge.

HURRICANE HUMBERTO: Rapid intensification is forecast and Humberto should strengthen to a cat 4 by Sunday! Fortunately the highest winds will stay offshore as it curves around Bermuda Tue/Wed. Big surf erosion and rip currents will push along the U.S. east coast through next week!

Tropical Storm Umberto will bring large swells to the east coast, but Invest94L may become Imelda and have it's sights set on the southeast U.S. These models will be changing so be sure to check back often.

Our Futurecast model thinks 94L becomes Imelda this weekend and could reach hurricane strength over the warm Gulf Stream waters. Global models are suggesting a landfall Monday-ish near the SC coast - too soon to say especially with all of the changes that we have seen. It is important to note that a cold front will hopefully move east through the Florida peninsula Saturday then stalling. This should help to keep the tropical system just off of the Florida east coast. This is not set in stone so stay tuned for forecast updates!

94L: Models shifting more toward the Carolinas for a landfall of a Tropical Storm or Hurricane around Sep 30. This would be Imelda. I think there will still be changes so anyone from north Florida to the OBX should watch this closely.

Chances are still likely, but this is a too forecast so the Carolinas really need to watch this

Chances are still likely, but this is a too forecast so the Carolinas really need to watch this

Good News: The west coast of Florida will remain unbothered from the 2 storms stirring in the tropics

Bad News: Models as of late last night and early this morning are starting to favor a turn to the north later-- which means people who live along the GA coastline and the Carolinas need to watch this forecast carefully. While not set in stone, what could be Imelda may make a landfall along the Atlantic coast early next week.

Invest 94-L (which could strengthen to TS IMELDA) is still very disorganized.. until it becomes better organized, we will see model data change.
