Looks like Humberto is going to be a nothing in the US.  High surf warnings, maybe rain, but it's not predicted to make landfall in the US and will just head out to sea.  Apparently, it mostly spared the Bahamas, thank God.

Much to the dismay of the weather hypers.

Yeah, I know.  I was just thinking, at least with Dorian I didn't see any reports with some poor "journalist" out in the wind and rain telling us that yes, its windy and raining.   That's the part that scares me about live coverage of hurricanes.  It's good to let people know a storm is approaching so they can be prepared or evacuated or whatever is appropriate. But putting a reporter out in a major storm is downright foolish.  Once of these days, someone is going to be killed doing that.

Tropical Storm Humberto is forecast to strengthen into a hurricane Sunday

https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/15/us/tropical-storm-humberto-sunday-wxc/index.html (https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/15/us/tropical-storm-humberto-sunday-wxc/index.html)

Quote
The storm has maximum sustained winds of 60 mph, according to the NHC. But it is slowly strengthening and expected to become a hurricane over Sunday, said CNN meteorologist Derek Van Dam.
It is then expected to move north, offshore from Florida and then away from the US mainland, the NHC said.

That's fine but it is no longer a Tropical Storm. It is a hurricane.
Would have been best to put the hurricane article first, since it is the most current.
