DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 PM EDT (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Humberto was
located by a NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft near latitude 29.4
North, longitude 77.6 West. Humberto is moving toward the northeast
near 3 mph (6 km/h) and this motion is expected to continue through
Monday morning, followed by a turn toward the east-northeast with a
gradual increase in forward speed over the next 3 days.

Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 75 mph (120 km/h)
with higher gusts.  Further strengthening is forecast during the
next 48 hours.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles
(240 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 988 mb (29.18 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL:  Outer rain bands associated with Humberto are expected
to produce additional rainfall of 1 to 2 inches in the northwest
Bahamas, with isolated storm total amounts of 6 inches.  Humberto
may bring periods of heavy rain to Bermuda beginning late Wednesday.

SURF:  Swells generated by Humberto will affect the northwestern
Bahamas and the southeastern coast of the United States from
east-central Florida to North Carolina during the next few days.
These swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions.  Please consult products from your local weather
office.
