Humberto is moving away from the Bahamas and was about 210 miles (335 km) northwest of Great Abaco Island and 170 miles (270 km) east of Cape Canaveral, Florida, according to the National Hurricane Center. The storm is forecast to continue moving away from the Bahamas and remain well offshore of Florida's east coast through Wednesday, the center said. Fears of a second stormThere was concern about what Humberto would bring to the Bahamas, where hundreds are still missing after the Category 5 Hurricane Dorian hit the Abaco Islands and Grand Bahama. The islands did get some rain, Van Dam said, but did not get Humberto's full impact.

Tropical storm Humberto gets closer

(CNN) - Humberto is now a tropical storm barreling its way through the Atlantic and threatening the same northwestern Bahamas islands ravaged by Hurricane Dorian nearly two weeks ago. A tropical storm warning was in effect for the northwestern Bahamas, excluding Andros Island, the center said. "Since there is increasing confidence that the storm will remain well offshore of the coast of Florida, the tropical storm watch for that area has been discontinued," the center said. Swells generated by the tropical storm are expected to increase and affect the coasts of central Florida to South Carolina through early next week.

Read full article: Storm in Caribbean forecast to become Humberto by Saturday morningROANOKE, Va. - The National Hurricane Center has begun issuing advisories and forecasts for a storm that will likely become Humberto Saturday morning. Their forecast takes the storm through the Bahamas and then close to the East Coast through early next week as a tropical storm, before being ushered out to sea as a Category 1 hurricane. It's important to note, however, that there is room for change with this forecast. As you can see below, there's not a well-defined center to the storm. The reason why there's room for change is that the hurricane hunters are investigating the storm Friday.

TROPIC UPDATE: Next storm developing in the tropics
Read full article: TROPIC UPDATE: Next storm developing in the tropicsA storm currently near the Turks and Caicos has been given a high probability of becoming our next named storm, Humberto. It will take some time, as it's moving into an area of high wind shear. Wind shear refers to change in wind direction and speed, which tropical systems typically don't like. Where it goes is a very tricky aspect of the forecast, as there's no clear and defined center to the storm. A south Florida impact with a recurve north and west of here would mean a minor impact to our area.
