Humberto is a beast that is now moving due west.....hmmm.... wonder if the counter clockwise flow around the TD is actually influencing it. No model has it a threat coming to the coast yet. WB 18Z Humberto tracks.
NHC excerpt from 5pm discussion.
Only a slight westward adjustment was made to the track forecast.
Humberto is moving slightly faster, but westward, near 9 kt. The
hurricane is still forecast to move around the subtropical ridge for
the next few days before it interacts with the aforementioned trough
and accelerates quickly northeastward. The spread in the model track
guidance has increased since the last advisory, particularly with
regard to how fast Humberto will accelerate northeastward in 4 or 5
days. Confidence in that aspect of the forecast has therefore
decreased, even though little change was made to the official
forecast. The NHC forecast remains generally based on a blend of the
GDMI, the AIGEFS and HCCA.
