Tropical Storm Humberto is moving north-northwest but a sharp turn to the northeast is expected Monday before it would make landfall on the U.S. east coast.
There are currently no watches or warnings associated with Humberto. But the storm's proximity to coast could make for dangerous conditions for swimmers and boaters.
The government of the Bahamas has discontinued the Tropical Storm Warning for #Humberto. Although the center of the tropical storm is slowly moving away from the Bahamas, gusty winds and occasional heavy rain are still possible tonight.
