Humberto May Defend an Atlantic Hurricane Season Record

As of Tuesday morning, September 10, there have been no hurricanes thus far during the 2013 season in the Atlantic. However, Humberto, near the Cape Verde Islands Monday has a chance at becoming the Atlantic's first hurricane later Tuesday.




If Humberto strengthens to a hurricane and does so before Wednesday midday, the late-forming hurricane record will remain intact.

According to Hurricane Expert Dan Kottlowski, "Humberto is entering an area of the atmosphere with low disruptive winds."

These diminishing winds could be enough to allow the storm to strengthen to a minimal hurricane.
