Atlantic, Tropical Storm and Imelda
Digest more
A pair of storms will keep things stirred up along the Atlantic Coast. Fortunately, a direct U.S. hit from either storm is not in the forecast.
Hurricane Humberto and Tropical Storm Imelda are interacting in the Atlantic through the Fujiwara effect, pulling both storms away from the U.S. coast.
Hurricane Humberto and a brewing disturbance called AL94 — are complicating forecasts. AL94 could end up hitting the Eastern Seaboard.
Dangerous tropical weather brewed Friday in the Atlantic Ocean with Humberto intensifying into a powerful Category 4 hurricane and a system forecasters dubbed “Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine” striking the Caribbean and taking aim at the Southeast United States.
Forecasters say PTC Nine could intensify into a tropical storm over the weekend as it tracks through the Bahamas.
After some nice fall-like days for Acadiana, moderating temperatures with highs back near 90° are expected for the rest of the week, while we continue to track two Atlantic tropical systems.
As a U.S. military air tanker fleet travels across the Atlantic Ocean, officials are unsure as to why the fleet has been mobilized.
The storm, which is not expected to make landfall in Florida, will continue to cause dangerous ocean conditions through the week, forecasters said.
