A storm system approaching the Atlantic coast is forecast to become Tropical Storm Imelda by Sunday or Monday. While direct landfall is unlikely for most areas, heavy rain, strong winds, and coastal flooding are expected along the Southeast U.S. coastline, particularly in Georgia and the Carolinas. South Carolina and North Carolina have declared states of emergency in preparation, urging residents to be cautious despite no mandatory evacuations being issued. The storm's path will be influenced by Hurricane Humberto, potentially guiding it away from the U.S. coast.
