18ZGFS is yet another scenario - Imelda never makes landfall, Humberto catches her right before and pulls her out to sea.

Humberto now a 4. I'd give it better than 50% odds to reach cat 5

18Z ECMWF follows the GFS, Imelda stays really undeveloped almost all the way to the SC coast, then gets pulled out by Humberto. I like this - hope this trend of no landfall scenarios continues!
I'm just having a hard time believing that with every other storm overperforming in intensity that Imelda is going to struggle as much as forecast. Maybe the models are thinking it will suck in some of the slug of dry air currently in the northern Gulf?

And there we have Category 4 Humberto with 145 MPH sustained winds.
