While Hurricane Humberto no longer poses a threat to any landmasses, the National Hurricane Center is warning those along the East Coast to watch out for swells and dangerous rip currents throughout the week.
Hurricane Imelda, on the other hand, is expected to pass by or on Bermuda later today. Bermuda is currently under a hurricane warning, as NHC warns it will experience hurricane-force winds, waves and flash flooding through Thursday afternoon.
When it reaches Bermuda, it’s expected to be updated to a Category 2 hurricane. Currently, maximum sustained winds are reaching 90 mph, with hurricane-force winds extending 60 miles from the center of the storm. Tropical-storm-force winds will extend up to 230 miles from the center.
Flights to and from Bermuda have been canceled today. According to FlightAware, roughly 40 percent of its departures and 40 percent of its arrivals have been canceled, with more expected. More delays and cancellations throughout the Caribbean are also expected due to the storm.
Cruise lines will reposition itineraries to prevent getting caught in the storm.
Travelers should be advised to check with their airlines, cruise lines or other operators for how they might be impacted by the storms.

Hurricane Humberto is no longer threatening any landmasses, though the National Hurricane Center does advise those in Bermuda, the Bahamas, the northern Caribbean and the East Coast to be aware of rip currents and swells throughout the week.
Humberto is currently on track to pass west, then north of Bermuda today and Wednesday, heading up the Eastern Seaboard, but is not expected to touch land.
Tropical Storm Imelda, on the other hand, has become a hurricane. A hurricane watch is in effect in Bermuda today, and it may be upgraded to a warning. The hurricane is moving away from the Bahamas today, according to projections, and will be approaching Bermuda late on Wednesday. The East Coast, all the way to North Carolina, is expected to get heavy rainfall up to four inches this week, with a one to two-foot storm surge expected in some parts of Florida.
Hurricane Imelda is impacting flights from Bermuda to the Bahamas. FlightAware is reporting that Bermuda International has canceled eight flights this morning.
Travelers are advised to check their communications with their airline and remain aware of the weather as it changes throughout the week. Cruise ships are still being repositioned away from the storm.
The eastern American coastline, the Bahamas and Bermuda are expected to be impacted by two major storms this week: Hurricane Humberto and Tropical Storm Imelda.
According to the National Hurricane Center, category 4 Hurricane Humberto will create dangerous surf conditions from Bermuda across the eastern coastline this week, with a tropical storm expected in Bermuda on Tuesday.
Hurricane Humberto is moving northwest at 14 mph, with maximum sustained winds of 145 mph, with hurricane-force winds extending to 60 miles from its center.
While it’s not expected to make landfall, those traveling to or living within the eastern coastline should be advised to check their local weather stations for information, as warnings about strong rip currents and swells are expected.
“Swells generated by Humberto will continue to affect portions of the northern Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda through much of this week,” explained the most recent NHC release. “Swells from Humberto will also affect the U.S. East Coast beginning today. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.”
Tropical Storm Imelda is creating tropical storm conditions over northwest Bahamas this morning, and warnings are in effect for the region, including Eleuthera, the Abacos and Grand Bahama Island. Imelda may be upgraded to a hurricane on Tuesday, September 30.
It is moving north at 9 mph, and currently showing maximum sustained winds of 50 mph. Its tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 175 miles from the center of the storm.
Forecasters say that Imelda will move sharply to the north and pass the U.S. coastline and will not make landfall, though the NHC is warning about swells, flooding and storm surges from the Caribbean to North Carolina through Tuesday. Storm surges could swell up to three feet in some coastal areas.
“Storm total rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches with local maxima of 4 inches are expected through Tuesday across northeast Florida, coastal South Carolina, and coastal sections of southeast North Carolina,” said the advisory. “This rainfall could result in isolated flash and urban flooding.”
Travel companies are taking the two weather events seriously: cruise lines are rerouting previously planned stops to the Bahamas and Bermuda this week.
For example, Carnival Cruise Line repositioned eight of its ships in the Caribbean and those expected to sail the East Coast down to the Bahamas or Bermuda this week, switching around their itineraries to avoid the weather. Those cruising will be notified by their cruise line of any changes to their planned itinerary.
FlightAware is also reporting some flight cancellations and delays coming in and out of Bridgetown, Grand Bahama, Fort Lauderdale, Providenciales and other airports, so travelers heading down to that region are advised to stay up to date with their airline’s communications and local weather reports. More delays and cancellations are expected through Wednesday.
