As the storms that were Humberto and Imelda make their way across the Atlantic toward Europe, let's take a look at what could come next.

00:0012 to 18-foot wave heights still impacting some areas around the outer periphery of Bermuda.
00:05Take a look at this. Amazing. No-named storms in the entire Caribbean so far in the hurricane season of 2025.
00:12We've only had one in the Gulf. That was Barry, a relatively low-impact storm when it comes to landfalling storms as they go.
00:19Again, max sustained winds there were 45 miles per hour.
00:22Chantal was the only U.S. landfall. All others moved out to sea.
00:26Look at the impact that, again, Umberto, here was Umberto, and Imelda, the interaction between the two, that hard right turn there.
00:36That's the result of the Fujiwara effect here, kind of a fascinating thing that spared the U.S. of a landfall there from Imelda.
00:43So former Hurricane Umberto continues to move toward the British Isles.
00:47We're calling it a tropical rain and windstorm. Technically, there's nothing tropical about it anymore.
00:51It's a cold, coarse storm. And then Imelda also lost its tropical characteristics.
00:55No longer a hurricane, more like a nor'easter or a cold, angry North Atlantic low.
00:59That's going to be moving across the North Atlantic.
01:01By the way, Umberto is now being called Storm Amy by the U.K. Met Office.
01:06It's like the Brits parallel to our National Weather Service.
01:09Look at that, though. The new, the eighth home this week to fall into the water.
01:14What a mess that was. That was today.
01:16Because of all this traffic in the Atlantic, very rough surf continues for the East Coast.
01:20We're watching this area of low pressure off the side of Florida, tropical wave west of Africa that will be moving offshore soon.
01:27So these are the areas of future concern.
01:30There is disorganized low pressure just near northeast of the Bahamas.
01:34That's the system that Anna's going to be talking about.
01:37But off the west coast of Africa, tropical wave train continues.
01:41And if these tropical waves stay far enough south, they will stay in an area of low wind shear.
01:46The minute they drift north of 15 north latitude, so much wind shear out there.
01:50That is also our protection for the East Coast of the U.S. for now.
01:53Lots of wind shear.
01:55But we'll be watching this tropical wave move west.
01:57And a week from now, it could be a tropical depression or maybe a storm east of the islands pooling north.
02:04If it takes the northern fork of the road, it could be an issue for Bermuda.
02:06If it stays south, though, that's how it could enter the Caribbean.
02:08And that could become a problem for the Gulf Coast of the U.S. about two weeks from now.
