DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 AM EDT (0900 UTC), the large and ragged eye of Hurricane
Humberto was located near latitude 30.6 North, longitude 74.3 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 remain near 90 mph (150 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Some strengthening is forecast during the next 36
hours and Humberto is expected 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 estimated minimum central pressure 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 Wednesday.

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.
