Tropical Storm Humberto is gaining strength in the Atlantic Ocean and is expected to become a major hurricane by the start of next week. As of Thursday (September 25) morning, Humberto is located about 480 miles east-northeast of the Northern Leeward Islands, moving northwest at approximately 10 mph. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) reports that the storm has maximum sustained winds near 45 mph, with higher gusts, and is forecasted to steadily strengthen over the coming days.
Humberto, the eighth named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, was previously known as Invest 93L. According to The Weather Channel, the storm is not expected to pose a direct threat to the United States but could become a concern for Bermuda early next week. The storm is anticipated to be the season’s third hurricane by this weekend.
Meanwhile, another system, Invest 94L, is developing near the Dominican Republic and is expected to become Tropical Storm Imelda by this weekend. This system could impact the Southeast U.S. and the Bahamas, with a chance of developing into a hurricane. Forecasters are monitoring the potential interaction between Humberto and Imelda, known as the Fujiwhara effect, which could influence the paths of both storms.
As the Atlantic hurricane season peaks, residents in Bermuda and along the U.S. East Coast are advised to stay updated on the progress of these storms. The NHC and meteorologists continue to track Humberto’s development and its potential impact on the region.
