Tropical Depression Nine Forms, Tropical Storm Watch in Effect for Florida Coast | Coastal Conditions Will Worsen Sunday
Tropical Depression Nine, forecasted to become a hurricane, will bring 3 to 5 inches of rain and wind gusts up to 45 mph along the South Carolina coast, officials said.
- On Friday, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster declared a State of Emergency as Tropical Depression Nine nears, forecasting heavy rain and high wind gusts along the South Carolina coast next week with approach expected by Tuesday.
- Model consensus has increased that Hurricane Humberto's rapid strengthening to Category 5 is pulling Imelda-to-be out to sea, while forecast guidance indicates it should soon become Tropical Storm Imelda.
- Coastal conditions will worsen Sunday into early next week with rough surf, high rip current risk, gusty winds up to 40 mph, and rain totals of 3 to 5+ inches in coastal areas of South Carolina.
- Tropical Storm or Hurricane Watches may be issued Sunday as Southeastern states prepare with search-and-rescue crews prepositioned amid risks of coastal flooding, beach erosion, and rip currents.
- Model agreement has improved but key uncertainties persist about Imelda-to-be's exact path, and if it lingers off the South Carolina coast Monday, inland areas may still face flash flooding Monday-Tuesday.
