Tropical Depression Nine formed over Cuba on Saturday. This system is expected to become Tropical Storm, and possibly Hurricane, Imelda in the next few days, the NEXT Weather team said.
It is now forecast to remain off the coast of the Carolinas as a hurricane on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, forecast an above-normal hurricane season this year, predicting there will be between 13 and 18 named storms. Five to nine of those are expected to become hurricanes.
Erin was the first, and so far only, storm to become a hurricane this season. Erin didn’t make landfall, but at its peak grew to a ferocious Category 5, and it caused strong winds, dangerous rip currents and flooding along parts of the East Coast.
Historically, on average, hurricane and tropical storm activity peaks on Sept. 10, but this year has been quieter than expected when it comes to tropical systems in the Atlantic.
