Overview

• The National Hurricane Center confirms Humberto in the central Atlantic and projects likely hurricane strength this weekend.
• A disturbance designated Invest 94L over the northeastern Caribbean has a high chance of developing near the Bahamas within days after producing heavy rain over Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
• Forecasters warn the proximity of Humberto and 94L could alter each system’s path and strength, leaving potential U.S. East Coast impacts uncertain.
• Hurricane‑hunter missions over both systems are scheduled over the next 48 hours to improve model guidance and reduce low confidence in the forecast.
• Separately, Gabrielle is heading toward the Azores and Europe as a post‑tropical system, Pacific Hurricane Narda has weakened to Category 1 but is driving hazardous surf and rain along Mexico’s west coast, and Mexico’s SMN says Humberto poses no threat to its territory.
