Two Atlantic storms are forecast to swerve away from the US East Coast and spare the shoreline a direct hit, but may bring flooding rains to Carolinas and gusty winds to Bermuda as they move out to sea later this week.
Closest to the US is Tropical Storm Imelda, with winds of 40 miles (64 kilometers) per hour churning through the Bahamas about 355 miles from Cape Canaveral, Florida, the National Hurricane Center said in a 5 p.m. New York time advisory. About 750 miles to its east is Hurricane Humberto with top winds of 145 mph, down from 150 mph earlier.
