Humberto grew right into a hurricane early Friday morning, and the storm was anticipated to strengthen considerably over the weekend, however there have been no instant watches or warnings issued for the U.S. by the National Hurricane Center.

The storm is certainly one of two programs swirling over the western Atlantic that would doubtlessly convey some downstream impacts to elements of the Southeast U.S. coast, from Florida as much as North Carolina, the director of the Miami-based hurricane heart, Michael Brennan, mentioned.

There have been no coastal watches or warnings in impact attributable to both storm as of Friday morning. 

Hurricane Humberto forecast and path

As of early Friday morning, Humberto was positioned about 465 miles northeast of the northern Leeward Islands. It was transferring northwest at about 3 mph with most sustained winds of 75 mph.
