00:01Humberto just formed in the Atlantic, and it's gunning to become a powerful hurricane this weekend.

00:07Humberto is now the eighth-named storm of this hurricane season.

00:11Born from Invest 93L, it's already packing winds of 45 mph and picking up speed as it moves west-northwest.

00:18But here's the twist.

00:20While it's on track to become a full-blown hurricane by the weekend,

00:23forecasters say it's expected to curve away from the U.S. east coast, staying hundreds of miles offshore.

00:29That's a relief for now.

00:31But the Atlantic isn't done stirring trouble.

00:40Massive showers.

00:42Thunderstorms.

00:43Gusty winds sweeping across the Windward and Leeward Islands.

00:46Experts say this system could soon turn into a tropical depression, and it may pose a bigger threat.

00:52With a high chance of formation, and a path that's still unclear,

00:55people in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Bahamas, and the Dominican Republic are being urged to stay alert.
