Overview

• NHC says Tropical Storm Humberto is over the western Atlantic and is forecast to become a hurricane this weekend.
• Invest 94L near the northeastern Caribbean has a high chance of developing as it approaches the Bahamas and has already caused deadly flooding in Puerto Rico.
• Forecasters warn the close proximity of Humberto and 94L could lead to storm interaction, including a Fujiwhara-type effect, which increases uncertainty in track and intensity.
• Officials urge residents along parts of the U.S. East Coast, including Florida and the Southeast, to monitor updates due to potential hazards such as dangerous surf and rip currents.
• Hurricane Gabrielle is racing toward the Azores under hurricane warnings and is expected to turn post-tropical later, with its remnants projected to influence weather toward Iberia.
