Hurricane Imelda: Tuesday Update

Posted On: September 30, 2025

Residents and visitors are strongly advised to stay out of the ocean and exercise extreme caution if they visit the beach as Hurricane Imelda continues to impact Volusia County’s coastline.

Dangerous beach and marine conditions are expected to persist through Saturday, with the shoreline remaining hazardous due to breakers of 6 to 10 feet and a high risk of life-threatening rip currents. In addition, the heavy surf is being amplified by distant swells from Hurricane Humberto. Weather across the area today will include scattered showers producing up to 1 inch of rain, accompanied by breezy conditions and gusts of up to 25 mph. Offshore, dangerous boating conditions are expected to persist, with seas ranging from 9 to 18 feet. A small craft advisory remains in effect.

Residents and visitors are encouraged to stay informed by monitoring reliable sources, including the National Weather Service, the Volusia County Emergency Management app, and the county’s social media channels.
