US EditionTracking the Tropics: Could Tropical Storm Humberto merge with Invest 94L?
Tropical Storm Humberto became the eighth named storm this season and may reach major hurricane status; Invest 94L near Puerto Rico has an 80% chance to develop soon.
- On Wednesday, Tropical Storm Humberto formed in the central Atlantic as the eighth named storm this year, while forecasters monitor Invest 94L and a possible Fujiwhara effect near the U.S. East Coast.
- Near Puerto Rico, Invest 94L is producing heavy rain in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic with a 30% chance of development in 48 hours and 80% over seven days, possibly becoming Tropical Storm Imelda by Friday.
- According to the National Hurricane Center, Humberto was about 550 miles east-northeast of the northern Leeward Islands with sustained winds near 40 mph and moving west-northwest at around 15 mph, and forecasters expect steady intensification into the weekend.
- Residents in the Southeast, especially the Carolinas, can expect rain Monday and Tuesday as Invest-94L hits the Carolina coast, bringing up to 6 inches of rain, flooding, large swells, and rip currents.
- Meteorologists warn a Fujiwhara interaction could occur if the systems draw near, while NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft will fly missions over the next two days and a trough of low pressure over the eastern U.S. will steer the systems.
