Tropical Storm Imelda Latest Updates
Introduction to Tropical Storm Imelda
FOX 13 meteorologist Nash Rhodes has the latest in the tropics as Tropical Storm Imelda could bring impacts to Florida’s east coast.
Tropical Depression Nine has developed into Tropical Storm Imelda as it moves over the Bahamas.
This is expected to become a Category 1 hurricane Monday or Tuesday as it passes off Florida’s east coast.
Imelda is the ninth named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season.
Expected Impacts of Tropical Storm Imelda
Space Coast areas could feel tropical-storm-force wind gusts in the 40–50 MPH range, but the storm stays offshore and impacts aren’t expected inland.
Rough beach and boating conditions will be in place for several days on the east coast of Florida.
The latest trend is good news for the Carolinas and coastal Georgia. These areas are no longer included in the forecast cone and there is high confidence Imelda stays offshore before turning east and going out to sea.

This brings rain totals down significantly, with a general 2-4 inches and locally high rainfall totals up to 7 inches near the coast through Wednesday morning.
Steering Currents and Hurricane Humberto
Part of what is helping to steer future Imelda out to sea is Hurricane Humberto, which is altering the steering currents and helping to tug the storm east.
Humberto is still a powerful Category 4 hurricane and will pass west of Bermuda Tuesday – Wednesday.
