A new weather buzzword is storming social media as Hurricane Humberto may do a giant dance with another tropical cyclone in the Atlantic.

At 5 p.m. Friday, the National Hurricane Center issued an advisory stating that Category 3 Hurricane Humberto is in the Atlantic Ocean, 430 miles northeast of the Northern Leeward Islands. The hurricane, with maximum sustained winds of 115 mph, is moving west-northwest at 5 mph.

Humberto is expected to bypass the Greater Antilles before turning into the Atlantic. But interaction with another tropical system could change that.

Hurricane Humberto is forecast to become a major hurricane this weekend and a second system — likely to become Imelda — is a possible threat to the U.S. coast, especially the Carolinas.

Hurricane Humberto became the third hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean for the 2025 season Friday morning, forecasters with the National Hurricane Center in Miami said. It could soon be joined by Tropical Storm Imelda in the southwestern Atlantic, which was a tropical wave Friday morning.

Humberto is about 465 miles northeast of the northern Leeward Islands and is moving slowly toward the northwest. It is expected to strengthen substantially over the weekend to become a major hurricane, the Miami-based U.S. National Hurricane Center said.

Cruise lines are changing Caribbean itineraries to avoid stormy weather.
