New double weather warning: ‘tropical wave’ headed to U.S. after hurricanes Humberto and Imelda wreak havoc
Hurricane season still isn’t over as experts report two more developing tropical systems that could bring misery in the South as they terrorize the Gulf of Mexico.
The Weather Channel reported a ‘tropical wave’ that has made its way from the African Coast through the Atlantic.
Over the next week, the brewing weather could combine with another waiting weather system and gradually develop into a full-blown storm.
Experts say it has a 40 percent chance of developing over the next week.
A second weather system off the coast of Florida stands to move into the Gulf, dumping buckets of rain on Florida, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
Fortunately, the Gulf has combined factors to work against a true tropical storm developing.
Its strong wind and dry air could tamper down the brewing weather’s efforts.
Rain is still expected, along with localized flooding.
Meteorologists are keeping a watch on two weather systems in the Atlantic
The potentially dangerous storms come after hurricanes Humberto and Imelda terrorized the Caribbean
This latest tropical wave could cause high winds, flooding, heavy rain fall, and rough surf
Storms off of Florida are expected to create heavy rainfall regardless of development
These weather threats come shortly after hurricanes Humberto and Imelda worked together to terrorize the Caribbean and the East Coast.
The double hurricane threatened North America during the first week of October. First Humberto, and then Imelda.
Hurricane Humberto developed into a category three hurricane and struck the Bahamas with heavy wind and rainfall.
With 160 mph winds, it also caused intense surf, flooding, and deadly rip currents on the East Coast of the US, but did not make landfall.
At one point last week, Imelda sustained winds of 85 mph, eventually reaching 100 mph. The storm caused dangerous rip currents, rough surf and flooding in Bermuda and the Carolinas.
The category two storm damaged homes, telephone wires, and buildings in its path. It even caused Bermudan schools and businesses to close in preparation for the storm.
Bermuda’s minister of national security Michael Weeks warned of its severity: ‘I cannot overstate the seriousness of this threat. This is not, I must stress, a passing squall.’
One of the current tropical threats travel from Africa through the Atlantic and now has a 40% change of developing next week
Meteorologists are on high alert for more of the strong winds and heavy rainfall that Imelda and Humberto brought last week
Hurricane Imelda caused schools, businesses, and airports to close in Bermuda as residents braced for impact
Imelda caused dangerous winds and rip currents, damaging infrastructure in Hamilton, Bermuda
Swells from both storms did moderate damage on the Bahamas, Bermuda, and the East Coast.
AccuWeather meteorologist told the Daily Mail that is probably wouldn’t be the last of the severe weather.
He said: ‘We’ll probably see a couple of more storms develop between now and the end of the hurricane season.’
The brewing weather in the Atlantic and off the coast of Florida could be an example of these potentially developing storms.
Even if these storms do pass, tropical storm season hasn’t passed just yet.
Meteorologists stay on the lookout until November 30.
Regardless of when the next Atlantic tropical storm develops, it will be named Jerry.
