Forecasters are currently monitoring Hurricane Humberto, which is forecast to remain over open water but will likely produce dangerous surf and rip currents along the East Coast, and a developing disturbance near the Bahamas (Invest 94L), which has a high chance of becoming Tropical Storm Imelda. The system near the Bahamas is expected to bring heavy rain, gusty winds, flooding, and coastal surge to parts of the Southeast U.S., including the Carolinas, early next week, although the precise track remains uncertain. Given this uncertainty, residents should regularly check updates from NOAA / the National Hurricane Center and review their emergency plans.
If you believe your access to medical care may be impacted, please contact your healthcare provider or dialysis facility directly.
