Tropical storm conditions continue over much of the northwestern Bahamas as a steadily organizing Tropical Storm Imelda heads northward out of the islands. Satellite imagery at midday Monday showed a steadily organizing storm boasting a large shield of heavy thunderstorms (convection) that covered much of the northwestern Bahamas. The Tropical Storm Watch that was posted for Florida by NHC on Sunday has now been dropped. At that time, Imelda is expected to be very near Bermuda; a Tropical Storm Watch will likely be issued for the island later on Monday. A Tropical Storm Watch is posted for the island, which is expected to see one to two inches of rain, winds approaching tropical storm force, and rough surf.
