Hurricane Imelda was also a Category 2 hurricane as of 2 p.m. Wednesday.

It was located at 31.2°N 69.2°W.

The storm was moving east-northeast at 20 miles an hour and had maximum sustained winds of 90 miles an hour.

FOX 13 Meteorologist Dave Osterberg said it will pass over Bermuda late Wednesday night and early Thursday morning.  

It is expected to bring hurricane-force winds, damaging waves and flash flooding to the island.

Rain chances were slim early this week in the Bay Area, but that will change as we head into the weekend.

Osterberg says a lot of deep tropical moisture is expected to return to the state this weekend, increasing the rain chances to 50 percent on Saturday and Sunday. However, most of the heavy rain will fall on the east coast and in South Florida.

Humberto is no longer a hurricane.
