Tropics:
Hurricane Humberto:
Humberto strengthened quickly during the night. Humberto made landfall this morning as a category one hurricane with winds of 85 mph. Humberto will weaken into a tropical storm later today. The track of Humberto will be slow for the next 3 days, before a cold front picks the storm up, and move it east. Humberto will bring heavy rain to Texas and Louisiana.
Tropical Depression #8:
The tropical depression about 920 miles east of the Windward Islands will become our next tropical storm in the next day or two. There will be an upper level trough approaching from the west of TD #8 in 4 days. The strong upper level winds will not allow the storm to strengthen much in 4 days. We have a lot of time to watch the storm as it moves W/NW in the open Atlantic.
