Tropical trouble could be brewing for US East Coast next week
Tropical Storm Humberto formed Wednesday northeast of the northern Leeward Islands and is expected to strengthen into a major hurricane (Category 3 or higher) as it heads northwestward over the next several days. It’s expected to curve out to sea before it reaches the U.S. East Coast.
However, the National Hurricane Center believes Invest 94L, currently near the Dominican Republic, will be next to develop into a tropical depression or Tropical Storm Imelda late this week or over the weekend.
This system could pose trouble somewhere between Florida and the mid-Atlantic next week, but FOX Weather Hurricane Specialist Bryan Norcross warns that the system’s track remains highly uncertain due to its proximity to Humberto.
