Fujiwhara effect: Storm could hit US after ‘dance’ with Hurricane Humberto

Hurricane Humberto developed in the tropical Atlantic becoming the third hurricane of the season.

Although it will continue to strengthen itself, becoming a major hurricane in the coming days, it is unlikely that its forecasting track is a great threat to the land.

But it can still play an important role in determining the end of the hurricane next week.

This low pressure zone brings widespread thunderstorms in Haiti, in the Dominican Republic with the Turkish islands and caïcos. These storms can bring flood zones in the coming days.

This low is likely to turn into tropical depression later Friday, then into the tropical storm “Imelda” during the weekend while entering the Bahamas. It will move through very hot seas with 1-2C temperatures above average, from which it will potentially become a hurricane at the beginning of next week.

At the first hurricane Humberto and the developing storm will be far enough to develop and move independently of each other, but Humberto moves much faster and at the beginning of next week could be close enough to have a great influence on the lane of the storm and the potential strength of the developing storm.
