The stalled front that gave us a wet weekend is helping push two hurricanes well away from our area this week, according to the National Weather Service.

Hurricane Humberto was never prognosticated to be a problem, with a track well to the northeast.

But newly strengthened Hurricane Imelda now looks like more of a weather maker for Florida and the southernmost states, largely in the form of rain.

The National Hurricane Center shows Imelda making a sharp right turn off the coast of Florida and exiting to the northeast.

Forecasts can always change, but have held steady for the last couple of days. The most probable effect of the weather system for us will be gusty winds from Tuesday through Thursday and poor boating conditions.
