(240 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 980 mb (28.94 inches).

RAINFALL:  Outer rain bands associated with Humberto are expected
to produce an additional 1 to 2 inches of rainfall in the northwest
Bahamas, with isolated storm total amounts of 6 inches.  Humberto
may bring periods of heavy rain to Bermuda beginning late Wednesday
or Thursday.

SURF:  Swells generated by Humberto will affect the northwestern
Bahamas and the southeastern coast of the United States from
east-central Florida to North Carolina during the next few days.
These swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip current

office.
