Hurricane Humberto Discussion Number 26
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL082025
1100 PM AST Tue Sep 30 2025

Humberto continues to produce a very large area of deep convection,
primarily to the northeast of its circulation center. However, a
2106 UTC GPM microwave pass received after the prior advisory still
showed the low-level center was mostly exposed on the southwest edge
of the cirrus canopy. Satellite estimates have only been in the
45-55 kt range for the last 6-12 hours. However, a recently received
ASCAT pass showed a peak wind retrieval of 61 kt, and assuming the
significant low bias of this instrument at hurricane intensity, the
initial intensity is being held at 70 kt for this advisory. Wind
radii were also adjusted based on the scatterometer data.

The hurricane appears to have made an east-northeastward turn, but
has not accelerated, with the motion estimated at 065/9 kt. A
longwave mid-latitude trough located to the north of Humberto is
quickly dropping southward and will soon start to impinge upon the
hurricane’s circulation. The resulting interaction should cause a
strengthening frontal boundary to form to the northeast of
Humberto’s center. In fact, the scatterometer data already shows
this boundary beginning to develop in the convection. The global and
hurricane-regional model fields now show Humberto’s circulation
quickly becoming indistinguishable from the intensifying baroclinic
zone in 18-24 h. The latest NHC track and intensity forecast will
now show Humberto merging with this boundary by that time. The
remnant vorticity of the storm may ultimately be advected
towards Imelda’s circulation beyond that time frame, as it also
interacts with the same boundary.

Regardless of Humberto’s evolution, the hurricane, in combination
with Imelda is producing a large area of hazardous marine conditions
over the western and central Atlantic, where life-threatening rip
currents are expected to affect beaches throughout the region
through the week.

KEY MESSAGES:

1. Dangerous marine conditions, including high surf and
life-threatening rip currents, will continue to affect beaches of
the northern Caribbean, Bahamas, Bermuda, and much of the east coast
of the United States through the week.

WATCHES AND WARNINGS
——————–
There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect for Humberto.

(425 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 979 mb (28.91 inches).

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
———————-
Key messages for Hurricane Humberto can be found in the Tropical
Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT3 and WMO header
WTNT43 KNHC.

SURF: Swells from Humberto are likely to cause dangerous surf and
life-threatening rip current conditions, affecting beaches of the
northern Caribbean, Bahamas, Bermuda, and much of the east coast of
the United States over the next several days. Please consult
products from your local weather office.

None.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT:

A Hurricane Warning is in effect for…

A Hurricane Warning means that hurricane conditions are expected
somewhere within the warning area. Preparations to protect life
and property should be rushed to completion.

For storm information specific to your area, please monitor
products issued by your national meteorological service.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
———————-
At 1100 PM EDT (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Imelda was
located near latitude 29.7 North, longitude 73.9 West. Imelda is
moving toward the east-northeast near 15 mph (24 km/h). A much
faster east-northeast to northeast motion is expected over the next
couple of days. On the forecast track, the core of the hurricane
will be near Bermuda Wednesday evening.

Maximum sustained winds are near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher
gusts. Some additional strengthening is forecast during the next
day or so. Imelda is then expected to become an extratropical low
in a couple of days.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 160 miles
(260 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure based on data from the Air
Force Hurricane Hunters is 977 mb (28.85 inches).

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
———————-
Key messages for Hurricane Imelda can be found in the Tropical
Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT4 and WMO header
WTNT44 KNHC.

WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected over Bermuda by Wednesday
evening, with tropical storm conditions likely by Wednesday
afternoon.

RAINFALL: Across Bermuda, 2 to 4 inches (50 to 100 mm) of rainfall
are expected from Wednesday into Thursday, which could lead to
flash flooding.

STORM SURGE: In Bermuda, a dangerous storm surge is expected to
produce coastal flooding in areas of onshore winds. The surge will
be accompanied by large and damaging waves.

SURF: Swells generated by Hurricane Imelda and Hurricane Humberto
are affecting the Bahamas, Bermuda, and much of the U.S. east coast.
These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip
current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather
office.
