DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 AM EDT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Humberto was
located by an Air Force Hurricane Hunter plane near latitude 26.6
North, longitude 76.7 West. Humberto has been nearly stationary
during the past few hours, but the cyclone should resume a slow
motion toward the northwest and north later today. A sharp turn
to the northeast is expected on Monday. On the forecast track,
the center of Humberto should gradually move away from the
northwestern Bahamas later today or tonight, and then will move well
offshore of the east coast of Florida this weekend and early next
week.

Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 50 mph (85 km/h)
with higher gusts. Humberto is forecast to become a hurricane by
Sunday night well east of the east coast of Florida.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles (150 km)
to the north and east of the center.

The minimum central pressure from a reconnaissance plane was 1005
mb (29.68 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected within the warning
area in the northwestern Bahamas today. These winds should subside
later today or tonight.

RAINFALL: Humberto is expected to produce the following total
rainfall accumulations through Monday:

The Bahamas...Additional 1 to 3 inches, isolated storm totals
of 6 inches.
Portions of the Florida and Georgia coasts...up to 1 inch.

STORM SURGE: Humberto is not expected to product significant
storm surge in the northwestern Bahamas.

SURF:  Swells generated by Humberto are expected to increase and
effect the coast from east-central Florida to South Carolina late
this weekend and early next week.  These swells could cause
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please consult
products from your local weather office.
