Humberto is beginning to peter out but remains a cause for concern out over the Atlantic. The Miami-based National Hurricane Center said Tuesday that the storm was "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."

Humberto rapidly strengthened over the weekend, reaching Category 5 strength on Saturday before beginning to weaken. On Wednesday, the hurricane center said it had merged with a front over the north Atlantic and lost hurricane strength.

The storm is one of two systems swirling over the western Atlantic. The other one, Imelda, strengthened into a hurricane Tuesday but was skirting away from the southeastern U.S. 

Humberto forecast and path

"On the forecast track, the center of Humberto will pass west of, and then north of Bermuda today and Wednesday," the hurricane center said. "Continued weakening is forecast and Humberto is expected to become a strong extratropical system on Wednesday."

Humberto was the eighth named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season.

Forecasters also tracking Imelda

The hurricane center is also closely monitoring Hurricane Imelda.

A hurricane watch is in effect for Bermuda, meaning hurricane conditions are possible, due to the path forecast for Imelda, the NHC said.
