Humberto is now a category 3 hurricane, but all eyes are on Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine (formerly Invest 94L), which increasingly appears likely to impact the North Carolina coast.
As of 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 26, Hurricane Humberto was located about 430 miles northeast of the Northern Leeward Islands, according to the National Hurricane Center. Humberto was moving around 5 mph in a northwest direction.
A west-northwest to northwest motion with a gradual increase in forward movement speed is expected over the next few days, followed by a turn to the north-northwest on Monday.
Humberto's maximum sustained winds have increased to around 115 mph with higher gusts. Humberto is now a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind
