Tropical Storm Imelda formed along the Upper Texas coast on Tuesday.\u00a0 At 2:00 p.m. EDT on Tuesday the center of Tropical Storm Imelda was located at latitude 29.0\u00b0N and longitude 95.3\u00b0W which put it near Freeport, Texas.\u00a0 Imelda was moving toward the north at 7 m.p.h. (11 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 40 m.p.h. (65 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 50 m.p.h. (80 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1005 mb.<\/p>\n
A Tropical Storm Warning was in effect for the portion of the coast from Sargent to Port Bolivar, Texas.<\/p>\n
A small low pressure system over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico exhibited greater organization on satellite and radar images on Tuesday.\u00a0 When a surface weather station reported a sustained wind speed of 40 m.p.h. (65 km\/h), the National Hurricane Center designated the system as Tropical Storm Imelda.\u00a0 The winds to tropical storm force were occurring southeast of the center of circulation.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extended out about 45 miles (75 km) in the southeastern quadrant of Tropical Storm Imelda.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Imelda will move around the western end of a warm high pressure system over the southeastern U.S.\u00a0 The high will steer Imelda slowly toward the north during the next several days.\u00a0 On its anticipated track Tropical Storm Imelda will move slowly inland over east Texas.\u00a0 Although Imelda will cause a small storm surge along the coast around the northwestern Gulf of Mexico, locally heavy rain will pose a much greater risk.\u00a0 Southeasterly winds blowing around the eastern side of Tropical Storm Imelda will transport very moist air over parts of eastern Texas.\u00a0 Over a foot of rain (0.33 meters) could fall in some locations where rain bands linger.\u00a0 Flash Flood Watches have been issued for a number of counties around Houston and Galveston.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere over the Atlantic Ocean, Hurricane Humberto moved closer to Bermuda and Tropical Depression Ten formed east of the Lesser Antilles.\u00a0 At 2:00 p.m. EDT on Tuesday the center of Hurricane Humberto was located at latitude 30.8\u00b0N and longitude 72.9\u00b0W which put it about 490 miles (785 km) west-southwest of Bermuda.\u00a0 Humberto was moving toward the east-northeast at 9 m.p.h. (15 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 100 m.p.h. (160 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 120 m.p.h. (195 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 961 mb.<\/p>\n
A Hurricane Watch and a Tropical Storm Warning were in effect for Bermuda.<\/p>\n
At 11:00 a.m. EDT on Tuesday the center of Tropical Depression Ten was located at latitude 12.9\u00b0N and longitude 44.9\u00b0W which put it about 1165 miles (1870 km) east-southeast of the Leeward Islands.\u00a0 It was moving toward the west-northwest at 12 m.p.h. (19 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 35 m.p.h. (55 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 45 m.p.h. (75 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1007 mb.\u00a0 The depression is forecast to strengthen into a hurricane while it moves toward the northern Leeward Islands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
