<p>Imelda strengthened into a hurricane early Tuesday and was forecast to head away from the Bahamas and southeastern U.S. and toward Bermuda, according to the Miami-based National Hurricane Center.</p>
<p>Imelda is the ninth named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season. It formed on Sunday in the western Atlantic.</p>

<p>As of Tuesday night, Imelda's center was located 565 miles west-southwest of Bermuda, with maximum sustained winds of 85 mph, making it a Category 1 hurricane. It was moving east-northeast at 15 mph, the hurricane center said.</p>

<p>"On the forecast track, the center of the hurricane will approach Bermuda Wednesday afternoon," the hurricane center said, adding: "Some additional strengthening is forecast during the next day or so."</p>
<p>Anywhere from 2 to 4 inches of rain is expected across Bermuda from Wednesday into Thursday, which could lead to flash flooding, the NHC said. A dangerous storm surge is also expected to produce coastal flooding in Bermuda "in areas of onshore winds," the hurricane center said, adding that the surge "will be accompanied by large and damaging waves."</p>
<p>Swells generated by Imelda and Hurricane Humberto, farther out in the Atlantic, "are affecting the Bahamas and are currently spreading to much of the U.S. East Coast. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions," forecasters said.</p>

<p>A tropical storm warning for the northwestern Bahamas was canceled Monday night.</p>
<p>Imelda follows Hurricane Humberto</p>
<p>Imelda comes on the heels of Hurricane Humberto, which rapidly intensified to a major hurricane over the Atlantic on Saturday but is not expected to reach land. Humberto reached as high as a Category 5 on Saturday before beginning to weaken. Tuesday morning, it was a Category 2 with sustained winds of about 100 mph.</p>

<p>Forecasters said last week there was a small possibility the two systems could interact, creating what is known as a Fujiwhara effect, a rare phenomenon in which two different storms merge and become entangled around a newly formed, common center. However, they said it wasn't considered a likely outcome in this case.</p>
