Tropical Storm Humberto has formed in the Atlantic Ocean, bringing new concerns for forecasters who are also monitoring another developing system near the Bahamas. The dual threats raise the possibility of a complicated and unpredictable stretch of tropical weather as the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season enters its late phase.
Path of Tropical Storm Humberto
As of Wednesday, Humberto — the eighth named storm of the season — was located about 500 miles east-northeast of the Leeward Islands. The storm is moving west-northwest with sustained winds of 45 mph. Forecasts indicate it could strengthen into a Category 2 or 3 hurricane by the weekend before curving back out to sea.
While it remains uncertain whether Humberto will directly impact Bermuda or other land areas, its potential interaction with nearby systems adds to the complexity. CNN reports that Humberto could “open the door to a variety of wildly different outcomes.”
Another System Brewing: Invest 94L
The second system, known as Invest 94L, is currently a disorganized cluster of thunderstorms over the northeastern Caribbean. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) gives it a high chance of developing into a tropical depression or storm by this weekend as it approaches the Bahamas. If it develops, it will take the next name on the season’s list: Imelda.
