Surf will be dangerous in southeastern US, Bahamas even as Humberto heads out to sea

By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist

Since Humberto formed so far to the east, impact on the Bahamas and the United States will be minuscule when compared to that of Dorian.

As of 8 p.m. EDT Tuesday, Major Hurricane Humberto was located about 405 miles west-southwest of Bermuda and was moving toward the east-northeast at 12 mph. Maximum sustained winds were near 115 mph with higher gusts.

AccuWeather meteorologists expect Humberto to take a curved path to the northeast through midweek, which will keep the center well off the Southeast coast.

The majority of the showers, thunderstorms and strongest winds associated with Humberto were skewed to the north and east of the center over this past weekend.

This largely spared the areas of the northern Bahamas that were hardest hit by Dorian from Humberto's worst wind and rain.

How will Humberto impact the US?

The main threat from Humberto on the U.S. will be from rough surf and frequent and dangerous rip currents outside of the Intracoastal Waterway into midweek.

Bathers should use extreme caution when venturing in the water from the east-central Florida coast to New Jersey into midweek. Similar conditions can be expected along the Long Island, New York and southern New England coast from mid- to late-week.

Humberto's distant circulation may assist in drawing some cooler and less humid air down along the Eastern seaboard and Appalachians by midweek.

Humberto will be a threat to Bermuda into Thursday.

Could Humberto swing toward Atlantic Canada?

As far as any impact on southeastern Canada from Humberto, the hurricane will not take a track similar to Dorian.

Humberto is instead expected to be swept up by a non-tropical storm and will likely be taken out to sea before reaching Atlantic Canada. The region may, however, experience an uptick in wave action late this week and into the weekend.

Imelda to soak eastern Texas

Meanwhile, Imelda moved ashore in eastern Texas as a tropical storm on Tuesday. Imelda will bring flooding rain to Texas.

There are other areas over the tropical Atlantic being monitored for development as well, including a newly formed tropical depression.
