Emergency declarations issued in South Carolina and North Carolina as hurricanes Humberto and Imelda cause storm surge, rip currents, and up to 2 feet of flooding along the East Coast.

- The weather service cautioned that rip‑current risks will peak through Wednesday along some beaches, warning of a high risk for the Jersey Shore and Delaware beaches and coastal surge of 1 to 2 feet from Volusia and Brevard counties, Florida to South Santee River, South Carolina.
- Local authorities warned residents to protect property ahead of high tides and potential flooding as Henry McMaster, Governor of South Carolina, and Josh Stein, Governor of North Carolina, declared emergencies enabling recovery aid; Humberto caused two deaths in Cuba.
- A Hurricane Watch for Bermuda signals island officials to prepare for midweek impacts as Imelda becomes the ninth named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season 2025, which runs through Nov. 30.
