Humberto departs Bermuda while Jerry is now a hurricane
The tropics are very active — we are tracking Humberto, Imelda, Jerry and two other tropical waves.
Imelda
The threats from the remnants of Imelda are heavy rain and isolated tornadoes. Bands of heavy rain will continue to be pulled onshore through southeastern Texas and western Louisiana and northward. The storm will slowly move inland over the coming days. Some areas southwest of Beaumont have had around 30 inches of rain since Tuesday morning. Five to ten inches of rain will be common in eastern Texas and western Louisiana.

Here is the 7 Day rainfall outlook over the area — this rainfall is just from Imelda. Southeast Texas will be inundated with heavy rains through at least Thursday. Rainfall totals could locally exceed 10 inches. Houston is very flat and the way the water drains out is through bayou system. This is a very slow process. We do expect flash flooding to occur and it could be life-threatening.
Below is the Futurecast, showing the tropical rains moving onshore in the next 48 hours.
Humberto
Hurricane Humberto has picked up strength. It’s now a Category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 110 mph. Hurricane Force winds extend 105 miles outside the center. Tropical storm force winds extend 195 miles outside the center of the storm.
All warnings have been dropped for Bermuda.
There is still a risk of rip currents and rough surf through Thursday as the storm pulls further away from the US.

Jerry was upgraded to a hurricane at 11 AM Thursday.
