Tropical Storm Imelda is strengthening as it moves slowly north along Florida's coast Monday, Sept. 29. The storm is expected to become a hurricane Tuesday morning, Sept. 30, according to the National Hurricane Center.

South Florida stays breezy on Tuesday with wind gusts as high as 25 to 30 mph. The chance of rain will be lower on Tuesday due to drier air filtering in across South Florida as Imelda continues to lift northward. It will eventually move northeastward away from the U.S.

Hurricane Imelda continues to strengthen. Expect dangerous beach conditions in Florida and along the U.S. east coast. Some gusty winds and rain bands from Imelda are possible along coastal areas of east central Florida today.
