Oct. 1 (UPI) — The one-time Hurricane Imelda weakened to an extratropical cyclone Thursday after passing over Bermuda, the National Hurricane Center said.
The storm was about 315 miles east-northeast of Bermuda, according to the 11 a.m. EDT update — the last — from the NHC.
Forecasters said Imelda had maximum sustained winds of 75 mph and was moving east-northeast at a rapid 29 mph. The same general motion was expected to continue through Thursday night.
Bermuda has discontinued all tropical storm warnings associated with the storm.
Imelda, the ninth named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, is expected to strengthen through Wednesday as it approaches Bermuda and could be a Category 2 storm by the time it nears the island.
