WRAL meteorologists are tracking Tropical Depression 9, which could be named Imelda on Sunday, and its interaction with a hurricane far off our coast.



The latest: Impact on NC may be lessened if Humberto moves Tropical Depression 9 away from coast

I'm meteorologist Chris Michaels tracking a pair of tropical systems, the first of which is Category 4 Hurricane Humberto. At one point yesterday, it was a CT 5. Thankfully, this storm is not coming anywhere near us. It may increase the surf along our coast heading into the middle of the week, and then it skirts out to sea. This plays a big role on what is still tropical depression 9 forecast to become. at some point today, rides up toward the Florida and Georgia coast and in fact the model data continues to take it farther to the south, and then a pretty much 90 degree angle turn because Humberto takes it, grabs it and pulls it away from the east coast. So this new trend that we've been following for the past 36 to 48 hours now, it less The impact to the Carolinas Monday and Tuesday to where we just see some waves of rain. Most rain totals locally might be about 1 to 2 inches. You could have a few bands that produce more than that, especially toward the coast. And then in terms of wind gusts, you're probably looking at maximum 25 to 35 MPH. We'll keep on top of this and any changes that you need to know about throughout the next couple days.
