Hurricane Humberto to Pass Near Bermuda

Hurricane Humberto is to pass near Bermuda during the midweek. Hurricane Humberto is likely to track near Bermuda by later Wednesday, potentially bringing strong winds, battering surf and heavy rain to the archipelago. Humberto will also continue to generate high surf and dangerous rip currents along the Southeast U.S. coast. A tropical storm warning is in effect for Bermuda. This means tropical-storm-force winds (39-plus mph) are expected, generally within 36 hours. Humberto could become a Category 3 hurricane by Wednesday. Humberto's wind field size has grown in size, increasing the chance of at least tropical-storm-force winds arriving as soon as late Wednesday. Humberto may bring periods of heavy rain to Bermuda beginning later Tuesday, and large swells generated by the hurricane will increase along the coast of Bermuda by Wednesday. Residents and visitors in Bermuda should be preparing for these Humberto will continue to bring high surf and dangerous rip currents to the southeastern U.S. coast the next couple of days as well. Beachgoers from the east coast of Florida to North Carolina should stay out of the water.For now, Humberto's center should remain well off the rest of the Eastern Seaboard late this week. However, high surf and rip currents appear likely to spread up the East Coast later this week and may linger into the weekend.
