At 5 a.m. Thursday, the National Hurricane Center issued an advisory stating that Tropical Storm Humberto is in the Atlantic Ocean, 480 miles east-northeast of the Northern Leeward Islands. The system, with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph, is moving northwest at 10 mph.

The tropics are staying active. While Hurricane Gabrielle is moving away, there are two waves with a high chance for development.

While Gabrielle has prompted a Hurricane Warning for the Azores in the North Atlantic, two more tropical threats are likely brewing closer to the U.S.

Tropical Storm Humberto will slowly gain strength over the next few days, becoming a hurricane this weekend north of the Leeward Islands. Humberto is projected to become a major hurricane by Monday between the Bahamas and Bermuda as it tracks northwest.

Hurricane Warnings are posted for the Azores as the Portuguese island chain faces a direct hit on Thursday night. After passing by the Azores, Gabrielle is forecast to weaken into a post-tropical cyclone as it nears the Portuguese mainland later this weekend.

Tropical Storm Humberto formed several hundred miles east of the Caribbean on Wednesday afternoon, becoming the eighth named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season.

Forecasters say a hurricane warning has been issued for the Azores as Hurricane Gabrielle churns across open Atlantic waters on track for the volcanic archipelago
