Hurricane Humberto could bring dangerous surf to East Coast

Hurricane Humberto is likely to bring dangerous surf to most of the U.S. East Coast and Bermuda this week, the Miami-based National Hurricane Center said, adding that tropical storm conditions are possible in Bermuda Tuesday.

The swells will likely cause "life-threatening surf and rip current conditions," the center warned.

Humberto rapidly strengthened over the weekend, reaching Category 5 strength on Saturday before fluctuating back down to a still-powerful Category 4 on Sunday.

The storm is one of two systems swirling over the western Atlantic. The other one strengthened into Tropical Storm Imelda on Sunday and is forecast to become a hurricane but move away from the southeastern U.S.
