At 1100 PM EDT (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Humberto was
located near latitude 27.6 North, longitude 77.3 West. Humberto is
moving toward the north-northwest near 6 mph (9 km/h) and this
motion with a gradual turn to the north is expected for the next
day or so.  A sharp turn to the northeast is expected on Monday.  On
the forecast track, the center of Humberto should continue to move
well offshore of the east coast of Florida during the next day or so
and then move away from the U.S.

Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 60 mph (95 km/h) with
higher gusts.  Additional strengthening is expected during the next
few days, and Humberto is forecast to become a hurricane on Sunday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 160 miles (260 km)
from the center.

The minimum central pressure of 1000 mb (29.53 inches) is based on
data from the NOAA and Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunters.
