There is a ton of uncertainty with soon-to-be Imelda. Yesterday morning, almost all the models had a hurricane making landfall along the Carolina coast; now most of them have Imelda stalling and curving out to sea, and there are two reasons for this.

The first is because Hurricane Humberto, which is currently located about 1000 miles east of Imelda, is overperforming and making a run at Category 5 intensity. Humberto is essentially pulling Imelda, and the stronger Humberto gets, the stronger that pull is. The second is because a trough that is sitting over the East Coast has trended weaker, causing it to have less influence on Imelda. This allows Humberto to have much more influence on Imelda's track.

With most guidance right now showing Imelda not making landfall, I am staying put, but if anything changes, I will be heading down. This is a very challenging forecast.

I love following you on your adventures. Seeing a tornado in real life is on my bucket list, but for now I live vicariously through you. 😂

It has been a very weird hurricane season for sure! I will take it over land falling hurricanes wreaking havoc! Thanks for the update Freddy, I don’t blame you for staying put for right now it seems these 2 storms are proving to be quite a challenge as to where Imelda will go. Rooting for Humberto to pull her on out to sea as a fish storm with himself!:_letsgo:Humberto pull her out to sea with you huge:_win:

Thankfully it’s going to turn. However, there’s always that one percent it could turn towards the state but right now as it stands it’s gonna miss North Carolina thank the Lord because there’s poor people in the mountains. Can’t take anymore.
