Humberto forecast to become hurricane by Sunday or early Monday

According to the National Hurricane Center, Tropical Storm Humberto is on the move as it continues to pick up wind speed and higher gusts.

The 2 pm advisory puts it about 40 miles north of the Great Abaco Island, moving at 7 miles per hour with maximum winds increased to near 50 miles per hour. It is forecast to become a hurricane by Sunday night or early Monday, but it is expected to stay well east of Florida's east coast.

Swells from Humberto are expected to continue to impact the coast from East Central Florida to South Carolina this weekend and early next week. They could cause life threatening surf conditions and rip currents at the beach. Inexperienced swimmers are advised to stay near a lifeguard at all times.
