Georgia: Tropical Depression 9 – September 28, 2025
Forecasters are monitoring Hurricane Humberto, which will stay offshore but may cause dangerous surf and rip currents along the East Coast. A disturbance near the Bahamas (Invest 94L) could become Tropical Storm Imelda and may shift farther out to sea, though it still has the potential to bring rain, wind, and coastal flooding to the Southeast, including parts of Georgia (coastal regions), early next week. Residents should stay updated through NOAA and the National Hurricane Center and review their emergency plans.

Georgia: Potential Tropical Storm Imelda – September 27, 2025
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, and parts of Georgia 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.

Another system near the Bahamas may become Tropical Storm Imelda and could bring heavy rain, wind, flooding, and coastal surge to the Southeast, with potential impact to Georgia early next week.
