Tropical Storm Humberto gaining strength, staying off Florida coast

The National Hurricane Center's 11 p.m. advisory upped Humberto's maximum sustained winds to 60 mph, moving north-northwest at 6 mph.

Fox 35 meteorologist Brooks Tomlin says the storm was over 100 miles from Freeport on Grand Bahama Island.

Tomlin said Humberto is forecast to remain well east of Florida on Sunday.

It is also expected to become a hurricane late Sunday or on Monday.

Tomlin said we will remain windy, with squally rain showers passing by on Sunday.

He said our biggest risk will likely be the enhanced seas, swells and rip currents at our Atlantic beaches through the middle of next week.

Humberto is forecast to become a hurricane in the next 24-36 hours.

Tomlin says our biggest risk will likely be the enhanced seas, swells and rip currents at our Atlantic beaches through the middle of next week.

Tomlin says total rainfall is still expected to be a quarter to half an inch near Orlando, with higher totals likely near the beaches.
