Imelda is now past Bermuda, TD27W headed for the Philippines, TD01B in the Bay of Bengal, and blobs return to the Atlantic this morning.

Here’s the quick wrap-up on Imelda, probably last “Key Messages” are: Key messages regarding Hurricane Imelda (en Español: Mensajes Claves). Total impacts likely in the $2 Billion range, with damage to the Outer Banks, as well as some impacts in the Bahamas and Bermuda. It should become extratropical later today …

The system near Florida is a low potentially spinning up from the tail of the front that just passed through. Both GFS and the ECM AIFS models are showing low drifting across Florida into the Gulf, NHC has it at 10%, probably generous.

Elsewhere, The Philippines has another system tracking towards them, after multiple hits by typhoons and a major earthquake has killed over 70 this week:

Shouldn’t have major impacts.
