Tropical Storm Humberto has formed off the coast of Africa, and the formation is earlier than most storms. This storm is also projected to become a hurricane. The good news for the United States is that this is projected to move mostly northward in the Atlantic Ocean. If that occurs, then TS Humberto or Hurricane Humberto is expected to not pose a severe risk to the United States.
One thing we have seen in all hurricane tracking in aggregate over the years is that the projected cones and projected paths deviate. Many storms never follow the projected paths at all. Some tropical storms get projected to dissipate, only to become hurricanes. Some tropical storms or hurricanes have been projected to dissipate, only to become more serious storms.
It is also expected that the hurricane status will change back into a tropical storm. We will just have to wait over the coming days to see if this system really follows the path or not. We have taken an image from the National Hurricane Center below.
