Tropical storm Humberto increased to a Category 1 hurricane on Monday and is expected to continue gaining intensity as it trails along the Southeast coast, according to the National Weather Service .
The storm passed by the Bahamas, bringing rough winds tracked at about 70 miles per hour on Saturday, but as the weekend continued the storm increased in strength with wind speeds reaching 75 miles per hour as of Sunday. Its path began heading east-northeast towards the island of Bermuda in the early hours of Monday morning with sustained winds reaching 85 miles per hour. Humberto is expected to continue moving away from the Southeast coast of the U.S., the NWS said.
In this handout satellite image provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration , hurricane Humberto forms as a category one on September 11, 2013, in the far eastern Atlantic Ocean. Humberto is the first hurricane of the 2013 season. Hurricane Humberto is gaining intensity along the Southeast coast, according to weather reports on September 16, 2019.
Although the storm isn't expected to head northwest toward Florida and the East Coast, due to the suspected intensity of surf and tide, the NHC warned swimmers in Florida to stay out of the water throughout the week. Humberto's eye is positioned far off from the rest of the Eastern seaboard, but there is possibility rip currents and high surf may reach the East Coast and affect the waves and shores near the Sunshine State.
