Hazards affecting land

Wind. Gusty winds on Bermuda are expected to gradually subside today.

Surf. Distant swells generated by Imelda are affecting the Bahamas, Bermuda, and much of the U.S. East Coast. Swells from Imelda will spread toward the Greater Antilles and northern Leeward Islands on Friday and continue through the weekend. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
