Rare Fujiwhara hurricane 'dance' could save East Coast from worst effects of Tropical Storm Imelda

Two hurricanes could "dance" in the Atlantic this week as forecasters warn of life-threatening surf and rip currents along the East Coast. However, if the duo does dance, that could actually save the East Coast from the potentially catastrophic rainfall one of the storms would normally bring.

Tropical Storm Imelda is currently passing over the northwestern Bahamas and is expected to intensify into a hurricane on Tuesday (Sept. 30), according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC). Meanwhile, hundreds of miles offshore, Hurricane Humberto continues to rage after reaching Category 5 hurricane status on Saturday (Sept. 27).
