At 1100 PM EDT (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Humberto was
located near latitude 30.3 North, longitude 75.1 West.  Humberto is
moving toward the east-northeast near 8 mph (13 km/h).  This
general motion with a gradual increase in forward speed is expected
through early Thursday.  On the forecast track, the center of
Humberto is expected to approach Bermuda Wednesday night.

Maximum sustained winds are near 90 mph (150 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Some strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours,
and Humberto is forecast to become a major hurricane by Tuesday
night or Wednesday morning.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles
(240 km).

The minimum central pressure estimated from Air Force Hurricane
Hunter observations is 966 mb (28.53 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Tropical Storm conditions are possible over Bermuda by late
Wednesday.

RAINFALL:  Humberto may bring periods of heavy rain to Bermuda
beginning Tuesday, with rainfall accumulations of 1 to 3 inches
expected.

SURF:  Large swells generated by Humberto will increase along the
coast of Bermuda by Tuesday night.

Swells will affect the northwestern Bahamas and the southeastern
coast of the United States from east-central Florida to North
Carolina during the next couple of days.

These swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions.  Please consult products from your local weather
office and the Bermuda Weather Service.
