TAMPA - FOX 13 Meteorologist Dave Osterberg is watching three systems in the tropics — Gabrielle, the newly formed Hurricane Humberto and Invest 94L, which is expected to become Imelda.

Humberto became a hurricane early Friday morning and Osterberg said one of the things he noticed is that the storm's projected wind speeds keep going up, and he predicts it will become a major hurricane.

As of Friday afternoon, Humberto was located at 22.3°N 57.7°W.

It was traveling northwest at three miles per hour and had maximum sustained winds of 75 miles per hour.

Humberto is expected to become a Category 4 hurricane early Monday morning as it makes a turn toward the north, passing west of Bermuda, but well east of the United States.

Osterberg explained that the issue is not Hurricane Humberto
