Imelda is expected to take a sharp east-northeast turn away from the southeastern United States and form into a hurricane on Tuesday.

Minor coastal flooding is possible on the Treasure Coast, and swells from both Imelda and Hurricane Humberto are expected, creating life-threatening surf and rip current conditions through the week ahead.
