Overview

• Humberto is in the western Atlantic east-northeast of the Leeward Islands with winds near 65–75 km/h and is forecast to reach hurricane strength this weekend, according to the NHC.
• An area tagged Invest 94L over the northeastern Caribbean has a high chance of developing as it moves toward the Bahamas this weekend.
• Heavy rain from Invest 94L is already affecting Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, with localized totals up to about 150 mm and risks of flash flooding and landslides.
• Forecasters highlight low-confidence tracks because Humberto and 94L could interact, which may influence whether the Bahamas or parts of the U.S. East Coast face direct or indirect impacts early next week.
• Separately, Hurricane Gabrielle is racing toward the Azores and is expected to transition to a post-tropical system that could bring rain and strong winds to Portugal and parts of Spain this weekend.
