A Hurricane Warning means that hurricane conditions are expected
somewhere within the warning area.  Preparations to protect life
and property should be rushed to completion.
 
For storm information specific to your area, please monitor
products issued by your national meteorological service.
 
 
DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 PM EDT (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Imelda was
located near latitude 29.7 North, longitude 73.9 West. Imelda is
moving toward the east-northeast near 15 mph (24 km/h). A much
faster east-northeast to northeast motion is expected over the next
couple of days.  On the forecast track, the core of the hurricane
will be near Bermuda Wednesday evening.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Some additional strengthening is forecast during the next
day or so.  Imelda is then expected to become an extratropical low
in a couple of days.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 160 miles
(260 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure based on data from the Air 
Force Hurricane Hunters is 977 mb (28.85 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Hurricane Imelda can be found in the Tropical
Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT4 and WMO header
WTNT44 KNHC.
 
WIND:  Hurricane conditions are expected over Bermuda by Wednesday
evening, with tropical storm conditions likely by Wednesday
afternoon.
 
RAINFALL:  Across Bermuda, 2 to 4 inches (50 to 100 mm) of rainfall
are expected from Wednesday into Thursday, which could lead to
flash flooding.
 
STORM SURGE:  In Bermuda, a dangerous storm surge is expected to
produce coastal flooding in areas of onshore winds.  The surge will
be accompanied by large and damaging waves.
 
SURF: Swells generated by Hurricane Imelda and Hurricane Humberto
are affecting the Bahamas, Bermuda, and much of the U.S. east coast.
These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip
current conditions.  Please consult products from your local weather
office.

Hurricane Imelda Discussion Number  18
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL092025
1100 PM EDT Tue Sep 30 2025
 
Satellite images show that Imelda has developed a ragged large eye
feature with deep convection wrapping around its western side.  The
strongest thunderstorms are currently confined to the northwest
quadrant.  Despite the structural change, the Air Force Hurricane
Hunters have found that the minimum pressure and maximum winds are
about the same as earlier.  Based on that data, the initial
intensity is held at 75 kt.  This estimate is notably above the
latest satellite estimates.
 
Imelda is starting to pick up some forward speed and continues to 
bend to the right, with the latest motion estimated to be 070/12 kt. 
A much faster east-northeast to northeast motion is expected soon 
in the strong flow ahead of a large-scale trough, in which Humberto 
is embedded within.  This motion should take the core of Imelda near
Bermuda Wednesday evening, but weather conditions there will likely
begin to deteriorate Wednesday afternoon.  After that, a turn to
the northeast over the open Atlantic is expected.  No significant
changes were made to the previous track forecast, and this one lies
near the middle of the guidance envelope.
 
Imelda is expected to strengthen overnight and Wednesday as the
hurricane approaches Bermuda.  The intensification will likely be
due to a combination of tropical and non-tropical forcing, and it
could become a category 2 hurricane when it is near the island. The
models suggest that Imelda will complete extratropical transition in
about two days when it merges with a mid- to upper-level trough and
the remnants of Humberto.  The system is expected to gradually decay
after the transition. Imelda is also expected to significantly grow
in size over the next few days, which will cause the ongoing high
surf and swells to persist over a large portion of the central and
western Atlantic.
 
 
KEY MESSAGES:
 
1. Imelda is expected to bring damaging hurricane-force winds when 
it passes near or over Bermuda Wednesday afternoon or evening.  A 
Hurricane Warning is in effect for the island.
 
2. Imelda is expected to produce heavy rainfall that could cause
flash flooding across Bermuda Wednesday into Thursday.  Large and
damaging waves are also expected on the island.
 
3. Swells and high surf from both Humberto and Imelda are expected
to produce dangerous marine conditions and rip currents along much
of the East Coast of the United States during the next several days.
