TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – Hulicane Imelda is expected to leave Bermuda for the next few hours, but the National Hurricane Center is monitoring two obstructions in the Atlantic.
Imelda is located about 80 miles east-northeast of Bermuda and heads east-northeast, near 30 miles per hour.
This general move is scheduled until tonight before the northeasterly movement on Friday and Saturday.
The maximum sustained wind is close to 90 mph.
Imelda is expected to be a progressive low late today, and has gradually weakened since then, the NHC said.
Hurricane warnings are effective for Bermuda.
Southwest Atlantic
By Saturday, areas of low pressure could form near the Bahamas and southern Florida in the northwest of the Bahamas, according to the NHC.
Development of this system is expected to slow down as it moves northwest across the Florida Peninsula and towards the Gulf Coast.
The chance of formation in the next 48 hours is 10%.
The chances of formation over the next 7 days are 10%.
Central Tropical Atlantic Ocean
The tropical waves are expected to move from African coasts the next day or over two days, according to the NHC.
After the system moves off the coast, the waves are expected to interact with another disturbance in the eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean.
As the system moves west at 15-20 mph, slow development of combined features is possible as the system moves westward.
The chance of formation in the next 48 hours is 0%.
The chances of formation over the next 7 days are 20%.
