DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 PM EDT (1800 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Humberto was
located by an Air Force Hurricane Hunter plane near latitude 27.1
North, longitude 77.1 West. After several hours meandering, Humberto
has begun to move toward the northwest at 7 mph (11 km/h), and this
general motion with gradual turn to the north is expected during the
next day or so. 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 today or tonight, and then move
well offshore of the east coast of Florida this weekend and early
next week.

Maximum sustained winds are 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 latest minimum central pressure just reported by a
reconnaissance plane was 1005 mb (29.68 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are still expected within portions
of 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.
