Tracking Hurricane Humberto

Humberto is now heading away from the Bahamas and closer to the U.S. east coast now as a category one hurricane.

The National Hurricane Center says Humberto has maximum sustained winds of 75 miles per hour.

Forecasters expect the storm's outer bands could still drop one to two inches of rain on the northwest part of the Bahamas today.

Swells may also cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions in the area.

The hurricane will make its way up the coast from Florida to North Carolina over the next few days.
