Hurricane Humberto is expected to produce dangerous surf for Bermuda and the U.S. East Coast this week while Tropical Storm Imelda is strengthening near the Bahamas, forecasters said.

Humberto remained a powerful Category 4 storm in the Atlantic early on Monday and a Tropical Storm Watch was in effect for Bermuda, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said.

At 2 a.m. EDT, Humberto was located about 400 miles south-southwest of Bermuda moving northwest at 14 mph with maximum sustained winds of 140 mph, the center reported.

The storm is expected to gradually turn before accelerating east-northeast by late Tuesday or early Wednesday. Humberto’s intensity could fluctuate in coming days before weakening but was forecast to remain a dangerous major hurricane over the next couple of days.
