Hurricane Humberto brought strong winds to Bermuda on Wednesday.\u00a0 At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Wednesday the center of Hurricane Humberto was located at latitude 34.0\u00b0N and longitude 63.9\u00b0W which put it about 130 miles (215 km) northeast of Bermuda.\u00a0 Humberto was moving toward the northeast at 23 m.p.h. (37 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 120 m.p.h. (195 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 140 m.p.h. (225 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 952 mb.<\/p>\n
The Hurricane Warning for Bermuda was changed to a Tropical Storm Warning because Hurricane Humberto was moving rapidly away from Bermuda.<\/p>\n
Although the center of Hurricane Humberto passed just to the northwest of Bermuda, Humberto did produce hurricane force winds on Bermuda.\u00a0 The weather station at the L.F. Wade International airport measured a sustained wind speed of 82 m.p.h. (132 km\/h) and a wind gust to 114 m.p.h. (184 km\/h).\u00a0 There were reports of power electrical outages and wind damage on Bermuda.\u00a0 Conditions will improve on Thursday when Hurricane Humberto moves rapidly away from Bermuda.<\/p>\n
A trough over the eastern U.S. will steer Hurricane Humberto rapidly toward the northeast on Thursday.\u00a0 Humberto will move into a less favorable environment.\u00a0 The upper level trough will cause moderate vertical wind shear.\u00a0 Hurricane Humberto will start to move over cooler water.\u00a0 Moderate shear and cooler water will cause Hurricane Humberto to weaken during the next several days.\u00a0 While Humberto moves into a less tropical environment, it will make a transition to a strong extratropical cyclone.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Tropical Depression Imelda continued to drop heavy rain over parts of eastern Texas and southwestern Louisiana and Tropical Storm Jerry threatened the northern Leeward Islands.\u00a0 At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Wednesday the center of Tropical Depression Imelda was located at latitude 31.2\u00b0N and longitude 94.9\u00b0W which put it about 110 miles (175 km) north-northeast of Houston, Texas.\u00a0 Imelda was moving toward the north at 3 m.p.h. (5 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 30 m.p.h. (50 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 40 m.p.h. (65 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1008 mb.<\/p>\n

(24 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 65 m.p.h. (105 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 80 m.p.h. (130 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 997 mb.\u00a0 Tropical Storm Watches were in effect for St. Maarten, St. Martin, St. Barthelemy, Barbuda, Anguilla, Saba and St. Eustatius.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
