NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTERTROPICAL CYCLONE REPORTHURRICANE HUMBERTO(AL092019)13–19 September 2019Stacy R. StewartNational Hurricane Center19 February 2020LAST BERMUDA RADAR REFLECTIVITY IMAGE AT 2249 UTC 18 SEPTEMBER 2019 WHEN HUMBERTO WAS MAKING ITSCLOSEST POINT OF APPROACH TO BERMUDA AS A MAJOR HURRICANE, JUST PRIOR TO A COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE.Humberto was a category 3 hurricane (on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale)that skirted the extreme eastern portions of the Bahamas before raking Bermuda withsustained hurricane-force winds for several hours that caused significant island-widedamage. The hurricane also produced large ocean swells and rip currents along thesoutheastern coast of the United States that resulted in two fatalities.Hurricane Humberto 2Hurricane Humberto13–19 SEPTEMBER 2019SYNOPTIC HISTORY A weak tropical wave moved off the west coast of Africa on 27 August, accompanied bylittle convection. The disturbance continued on a westward track across the deep tropical Atlanticfor the next several days before it began to interact with a mid- to upper-level trough a few hundredn mi east of the Lesser Antilles on 4 September. The westward motion of the northern portion ofthe wave was impeded by the southwesterly flow on the east side of the trough, which causedthe wave to fracture. By 6 September, the northern portion of the wave turned slowly toward thenorth-northwest while the southern portion of the wave continued to move quickly westwardtoward the southern Windward Islands.Little change to the northern wave’s structure occurred over the next few days whileassociated shower activity was minimal as the wave and the upper-level trough moved in tandemtoward the northwest. By 10 September, the disturbance was located just north of Hispaniola nearthe Turks and Caicos, moving slowly northwestward and parallel to the easternmost Bahamasarchipelago. Over the next 72 h, anticyclonic flow on the east side of the now negatively tiltedupper-level trough steadily increased, which aided in slow but steady development andorganization of deep convection along and east of the wave axis. The associated thunderstormactivity pulsed during this time, with a distinct increase in convection noted during the nighttimeperiod, followed by weakening during the daylight hours. Convection persisted despite its pulsingnature, with scatterometer wind data indicating that a broad surface low pressure system hadformed near the southeastern Bahamas by 1200 UTC 12 September. By early on 13 September,thunderstorms had organized into a narrow curved band in the northeastern quadrant of thesystem, and nearby ship and surface observations from the Bahamas indicated that the low-levelcirculation center (LLCC) had also become better-defined. Based on these data, it is estimatedthat a tropical depression formed by 1800 UTC that day about 75 n mi east of the centralBahamian island of Eleuthera. The cyclone strengthened into a tropical storm just 6 h later. The“best track” chart of the tropical cyclone’s path is given in Fig. 1, with the wind and pressurehistories shown in Figs. 2 and 3, respectively. The best track positions and intensities are listedin Table 11.Tropical Storm Humberto turned northwestward early on 14 September and maintainedthat motion for the next 48 h, accompanied by a slow forward speed of 3–7 kt due to the cyclonemoving through a narrow break in the Bermuda-Azores ridge. Despite moderate southwesterly towesterly 850–500-mb vertical wind shear (Fig. 4), slow-moving Humberto steadily strengthenedduring that time, attaining hurricane status by 0000 UTC 16 September when the cyclone briefly1 A digital record of the complete best track, including wind radii, can be found on line atftp://ftp.nhc.noaa.gov/atcf. Data for the current year’s storms are located in the btk directory, while previousyears’ data are located in the archive directory.Hurricane Humberto 3stalled about 150 n mi east-northeast of Cape Canaveral, Florida. The broad deep-layer troughlocated to the northwest of Humberto nudged the tropical cyclone east-northeastward at forwardspeeds of less than 10 kt for the next 48 h. During this time, the hurricane continued to steadilystrengthen despite strong vertical wind shear of near 30 kt and sharply decreasing mid-levelhumidity values (Fig. 4), with Humberto reaching major hurricane status by 0000 UTC 18September. Thereafter, only slight strengthening occurred through 0000 UTC 19 September whenHumberto passed about 55 n mi northwest of Bermuda with maximum sustained winds of 110 kt.Later that morning after passing to the north of Bermuda, Humberto began acceleratingnortheastward ahead of a broad trough and its associated cold front, with forward speedsincreasing from 15 kt to near 25 kt throughout the day. During this time, the hurricane also begana steady weakening trend due to increasing south-southwesterly vertical wind shear exceeding50 kt and entrainment of very dry mid-level air, despite the otherwise favorable sea-surfacetemperatures in excess of 27°C (Fig. 4).By early on 20 September, the hurricane finally succumbed to the strong vertical shearconditions and became devoid of any deep convection, causing Humberto to become anextratropical cyclone when it was located about 500 n mi south-southwest of Cape Race,Newfoundland. However, the expansive extratropical low continued to produce hurricane- andgale-force winds over a large area until the system merged with a larger extratropical low andfrontal system by 1800 UTC that day more than 300 n mi south-southwest of Cape Race.METEOROLOGICAL STATISTICS Observations in Humberto (Figs. 2 and 3) include subjective satellite-based Dvoraktechnique intensity estimates from the Tropical Analysis and Forecast Branch (TAFB) and theSatellite Analysis Branch (SAB), objective Advanced Dvorak Technique (ADT) estimates andSatellite Consensus (SATCON) estimates from the Cooperative Institute for MeteorologicalSatellite Studies/University of Wisconsin-Madison. Observations also include flight-level, steppedfrequency microwave radiometer (SFMR), and dropwindsonde observations from 10 flights by the53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron of the U.S. Air Force Reserve Command and 4 flightsby the NOAA Aircraft Operations Center (AOC), including 3 Tail Doppler Radar (TDR) missions,which resulted in a total of 27 center fixes and 7 center fixes, respectively. Data and imagery fromNOAA polar-orbiting satellites including the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU), theNASA Global Precipitation Mission (GPM), the European Space Agency’s AdvancedScatterometer (ASCAT), and Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellites, amongothers, were also useful in constructing the best track of Humberto.Selected ship and buoy reports of tropical-storm-force winds, plus other pertinent marineobservations, associated with Humberto are given in Table 2. Selected land-based surfaceobservations are given in Table 3.Hurricane Humberto 4Winds and Pressure Humberto’s estimated maximum intensity of 110 kt between 1800 UTC 18 September and0300 UTC 19 September is based on an average of a reconnaissance aircraft 700-mb flight-levelwind of 121 kt (which equates to an equivalent surface wind speed of 109 kt), SFMR surface windspeeds of 110–113 kt (Fig. 5), dropwindsonde WL150- and MBL-surface equivalent wind speedestimates of 105 and 103 kt, respectively, and UW-CIMSS SATCON satellite intensity estimatesof 112–116 kt. The reconnaissance and dropwindsonde data were collected within a narrow bandof convection in the southern eyewall where SFMR rain rate estimates were 11–15 mm/h (0.43–0.59 in/h). The highest wind speed measured by a dropwindsonde during Humberto’s lifetimewas 138 kt at the 890-mb level at 0249 UTC 19 September (Fig. 6a). This dropwindsonde wasreleased and remained in Humberto’s remnant southern eyewall until the splash time of 0249UTC 19 September (Fig. 6a). The instrument traversed the convection from west to east basedon the positions of the release and splash points being aligned perfectly along a 270-degree (true)direction. Although the sonde measured a surface wind speed of 114 kt, that value is an‘instantaneous’ 2-second sample, which is more representative of a wind gust rather than a 1-minsustained wind.The estimated minimum central pressure of 950 mb from 1800 UTC 18 September to0300 UTC 19 September is based on aircraft dropwindsonde eye reports of pressures of951–952 mb, which were accompanied by surface wind speeds of 10–20 kt. This pressureestimate is consistent with earlier pressure values of 954–955 mb measured by NOAA Buoy40148, located about 240 n mi west of Bermuda, when the center of Hurricane Humberto passedapproximately 6 n mi southeast of the buoy. At 0930 UTC 18 September, a minimum pressurevalue of 954.2 mb was reported, along with a coincident wind speed of 27 kt (4 m ASL), whichindicates that the central pressure at that time was likely around 951 mb (Table 3; Fig. 7).It should be noted that the steady pressure of 950–951 mb from 1800 UTC to 0300 UTC(Fig. 3) suggests that Humberto’s peak tangential winds likely remained steady at around 105 ktbased on various pressure-wind relationship equations. Radar data from Bermuda (Fig. 8)indicate that the eyewall was eroding quickly after 1800 UTC 18 September, and that the peakwinds measured by reconnaissance aircraft and dropwindsonde at 0248 UTC 19 September likelyoccurred in a very narrow eyewall, which is not indicative of an intensifying tropical cyclone,especially one that is approaching category 4 intensity. The additional increase in intensity asmeasured by reconnaissance aircraft was likely due to baroclinic forcing that produced a low-leveljet that may have had some characteristics similar to a “sting jet” that occurs in association withsome deepening extratropical low pressure systems (Browning 2004; Hart et al. 2017).By 1800 UTC 18 September, Humberto had moved into the right-rear entrance region ofan upper-level jet stream wind maximum (Fig. 9, left panel), where an existing transversecirculation (i.e., combined vertical and horizontal circulations; Fig. 9, right panel) was present(Bjerknes 1951). The rapid warming of the air column on the equatorward (southeast) side of thejet stream induced by Humberto’s intense warm core would have resulted in a sharp increase inthe strength of both the jet stream and the transverse circulation (Fig. 10), causing an accelerationof the low-level winds. This enhanced wind phenomenon can be seen in a time series plot ofsurface observations from the Bermuda airport (Fig. 11) late on 18 September where a peak Hurricane Humberto 510-min average wind speed of 71 kt and a gust to 101 kt occurred in conjunction with a sharptemperature decrease of at least 7°C (12°F) between 2328–2331 UTC. The much cooler air waslikely caused by cold downdrafts created by rain evaporating into dry air that was entrained intoHumberto’s southern eyewall. This ‘sting jet’ phenomenon may have persisted for several morehours based on the ‘onion-shaped’ temperature-dewpoint vertical profile shown in the 0249 UTC19 September dropwindsonde data (Fig. 6b) where drier air is noted in the 950–850-mb layer.Typically, the surface temperature in tropical cyclones is warmer than the air aloft unless thesurface layer has been modified by drier and cooler air that descends in convective downdrafts.The highest official wind speeds observed on Bermuda occurred late on 18 September.On the southwestern end of the island at Pearl Island, a 1-min sustained wind of 87 kt and a gustto 107 kt were measured at 2319 UTC 18 September. A 10-min average wind speed of 71 kt anda gust to 101 kt were measured on the northeastern end of the island at the L.F. WadeInternational Airport (TXKF) at 2328 UTC and by the AviMet-12 weather sensor located near thewest end of the runway at 2331 UTC, respectively. At the Bermuda Maritime Operations Centre(MAROPS) located on the north end of the island, a 1-min sustained wind of 94 kt and a gust of125 kt were measured at an elevation of 290 ft (88 m) at 2324 UTC. Reducing that sustained windto a standard 10-m elevation yields an equivalent 1-min wind speed of approximately 78 kt.There was an unofficial report of a 1-min sustained wind of 97 kt and a gust to 145 ktobserved by a private anemometer located on the roof of the Commissioner’s House atCommissioner’s Point (Fig. 12, left panel) at an elevation of 115 ft ASL (35 m). However, there issome uncertainty in the validity of this wind report due to the anemometer being located close tothe top of the building with a hipped-roof, which could cause winds flowing over the structure tobe accelerated by the Bernoulli Effect. Assuming that the wind data are valid, the 97-kt wind speedwould reduce to 89 kt at 10-m elevation.The Crescent Marine Navigation Aid (NAVAID) located offshore along the reef line about8 n mi northwest of Bermuda, measured a 10-min average wind speed of 82 kt and a gust to 113kt at an elevation of 6 m ASL at 2313 UTC (Fig. 12, right panel). Increasing the wind speed toabout 87 kt for a 10-m height (using a logarithmic vertical wind profile), and then adjusting thatvalue to a 1-min wind speed for an open marine exposure yields an equivalent wind speed ofapproximately 96 kt.The lowest reliable pressures on Bermuda occurred on the north end of the island at theairport when Humberto made its closest approach. A pressure of 978.8 mb was measured at 2321UTC 18 September by the AviMet-12 weather sensor, while a pressure of 979.3 mb was observedat the same time by the Bermuda (TXKF) airport official weather observing system (Table 4). Hurricane Humberto 6Storm Surge2 Storm surge values along the east coast of Florida (Table 4) were generally around 1.0 to1.5 ft, resulting in saltwater inundation levels of around 1 ft. On Bermuda, storm surge valueswere around 3 ft, mainly on the west-facing beaches.Rainfall and FloodingRainfall amounts on Bermuda were relatively light compared to most tropical cyclones. Astorm total rainfall of 1.57 inches was measured at the L.F. Wade International Airport (TXKF) on18–19 September. Rainfall amounts across the central and northwestern Bahamas, and the eastcoast of Florida, were less than one inch.CASUALTY AND DAMAGE STATISTICSHurricane Humberto was responsible for two direct deaths3 in the United States. A 22-year old man disappeared after going for a swim in the ocean off St. Augustine Beach, Florida,on 15 September. According to St. Johns County Fire-Rescue, the young man was last seen inthe water about 4 p.m. EDT that day, and was presumed to have drowned. The rough surf andstrong rip currents also resulted in 21 water rescues along the St. Johns County coast during theweekend of 14–15 September, with three people requiring hospitalization. Farther north along theU.S. coast on 18 September, a 62-year old man drowned in Humberto-induced rip currents atTopsail Beach, North Carolina.Humberto caused widespread damage and power outages on Bermuda. Powerful windgusts exceeding 100 kt across all of the island knocked down trees and power lines. Around28,000 customers, or more than 80% of the island’s subscribers, were without power at somepoint during the storm, which included a prolonged communications outage between the BermudaWeather Service and its Doppler weather radar system. The Bermuda Emergency Managementoffice reported that Humberto’s effects caused three structural fires and briefly forced the closure2 Several terms are used to describe water levels due to a storm. Storm surge is defined as the abnormalrise of water generated by a storm, over and above the predicted astronomical tide, and is expressed interms of height above normal tide levels. Because storm surge represents the deviation from normal waterlevels, it is not referenced to a vertical datum. Storm tide is defined as the water level due to thecombination of storm surge and the astronomical tide, and is expressed in terms of height above a verticaldatum, i.e. the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) or Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW).Inundation is the total water level that occurs on normally dry ground as a result of the storm tide, and isexpressed in terms of height above ground level. At the coast, normally dry land is roughly defined as areashigher than the normal high tide line, or Mean Higher High Water (MHHW).3 Deaths occurring as a direct result of the forces of the tropical cyclone are referred to as “direct” deaths.These would include those persons who drowned in storm surge, rough seas, rip currents, and freshwaterfloods. Direct deaths also include casualties resulting from lightning and wind-related events (e.g.,collapsing structures). Deaths occurring from such factors as heart attacks, house fires, electrocutions fromdowned power lines, vehicle accidents on wet roads, etc., are considered indirect” deaths.Hurricane Humberto 7of “The Causeway”, a road that connects the L.F. Wade International Airport in northern Bermudato the population centers in southern Bermuda, due to possible structural integrity issues.Information obtained from the Aon Re-Insurance Company’s (Aon.com) 2019 AnnualSummary indicate that damage losses on Bermuda caused by Hurricane Dorian, includingdamage to the new airport, exceed $25 million (USD).FORECAST AND WARNING CRITIQUEThe genesis of Humberto was adequately forecast. The wave from which Humbertodeveloped was first introduced in the Tropical Weather Outlook 198 h prior to genesis with a lowprobability of formation (<40%) in both the 48- and 120-h forecast periods (Table 2). However,the disturbance was dropped from the 48-h forecast period (hours shown in parentheses in Table2) when it became apparent that strong vertical wind shear was going to prevent genesis fromoccurring in the short term. The system was re-introduced into the 48-h period with a lowprobability of genesis 72 h before Humberto formed. The genesis probabilities for the disturbancewere increased to the medium category (40–60%) 48 h and 66 h before genesis for the 48- and120-h forecast periods, respectively. The genesis forecasts reached the high category (>60%)30 h and 42 h before genesis occurred for the 48- and 120-h forecast periods, respectively.A verification of NHC official track forecasts for Humberto is given in Table 5a. Officialforecast track errors (OFCL) were lower than the mean official errors for the previous 5-yr period,especially at 96 and 120 h where OFCL errors were about 45% and 30% better than average,respectively. Prior to Humberto being declared a tropical cyclone, Potential Tropical Cyclone(PTC) advisories were issued from 2100 UTC 12 September until 1800 UTC 13 September inanticipation of the disturbance producing tropical-storm-force winds across the northwesternBahamas and the Florida east coast. The OFCL forecasts were poor during the PTC stage, withthe first few advisories predicting landfall in the central and northwestern Bahamas and along theeast coast of the Florida peninsula (Fig. 13). However, moderate southwesterly vertical windshear (Fig. 4) during the PTC stage kept most of the deep convection displaced into thenortheastern portion of the circulation, resulting in the LLCC redeveloping to the east of theforecast tracks. Since the early OFCL forecasts were anticipating landfall, which would causeHumberto to weaken and become a shallow cyclone, they did not expect the storm to movethrough a weakness in the subtropical ridge situated off the southeastern coast of the UnitedStates. However, once Humberto became a tropical cyclone, track forecasts improvedsignificantly, including accurately predicting the pronounced decrease in forward speed and sharpturn toward the northeast when Humberto moved through a break in the ridge axis by early 16September. As a result, cross-track errors were small and no NHC forecasts took the center ofthe hurricane across Bermuda.A homogeneous comparison of the official track errors with selected guidance models isgiven in Table 5b. NHC official track forecasts outperformed all of the guidance models at 96 h,and were bested only slightly by the dynamical models EGRI (UKMET) and HMNI (HMON) atother time periods. The consensus models HCCA, FSSE (Florida State Superensemble), TVCA,TVCX, and TVDG had slightly lower track errors compared to OFCL at 12–48 h, but they were Hurricane Humberto 8significantly lower, by nearly 50%, at 120 h. The EMXI (ECMWF) had uncharacteristically largeerrors at all times, especially at the 72-, 96-, and 120-h periods, which were primarily due to alongtrack errors caused by a positive (fast) forward speed bias.A verification of NHC official intensity forecasts for Humberto is given in Table 6a. Officialforecast intensity errors were lower than the mean official errors for the previous 5-yr period in12–72 h and were greater than the mean errors at the 96- and 120-h periods. The larger-thanaverage errors at days 4 and 5 were due to a negative (low) intensity bias preceding Humberto’speak intensity, as forecasts did not anticipate Humberto’s continued strengthening in the face ofextremely hostile vertical wind shear conditions (Fig. 4) when the hurricane approached Bermuda.A positive (high) intensity bias later occurred due to forecasts not capturing the rapid weakeningtrend after Humberto peaked in intensity while passing to the northeast of Bermuda (Fig. 14).A homogeneous comparison of the official intensity errors with selected guidance modelsis given in Table 6b. NHC official intensity errors were lower than all of the dynamical models atall times, except for the EGRI and HWFI models, which bested OFCL at 12, 72, 96, and 120 h.The corrected-consensus models HCCA and FSSE were equal to or better than OFCL at all times.The global and regional models performed quite well by forecasting continued deepening ofHumberto, likely in response to strong baroclinic forcing when the hurricane was expected toencounter very unfavorable vertical wind shear conditions. However, the deepening process didnot equate to an increase in the eyewall pressure gradient and resultant increase in Humberto’sintensity, owing to the models’ baroclinic-induced pressure falls occurring over a relatively largearea both inside and outside the hurricane’s eye.Watches and warnings associated with Humberto are given in Table 7.A Tropical Storm Warning was issued for the northwestern Bahamas on the first PTCadvisory (2100 UTC 12 September) and a Tropical Storm Watch was issued for portions of theFlorida east coast on the second PTC advisory (0300 UTC 13 September). Due to Humberto’sactual path keeping the cyclone east of rather than through the Bahamas, the Tropical StormWarning for the northwestern Bahamas did not verify. Similarly, the Tropical Storm Watch for theFlorida east coast did not verify even though sustained winds of 32 kt along with wind gusts to 35kt (Table 4) occurred approximately 20 h after the Watch was issued.For Bermuda, the Tropical Storm Watch, Tropical Storm Warning, Hurricane Watch, andHurricane Warning were issued with lead times of approximately 48 h, 32 h, 32 h, and 26 h,respectively, before the arrival of tropical-storm-force winds on the island.Hurricane Humberto 9ReferencesBjerknes, J., 1951: Extratropical cyclones.

Stormtide is water height above Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) for NOS stations in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands,and Barbados. e Estimated inundation is the maximum height of water above ground. For some USGS storm tide pressure sensors,inundation is estimated by subtracting the elevation of the sensor from the recorded storm tide. For other USGSstorm tide sensors and USGS high-water marks, inundation is estimated by subtracting the elevation of the landderived from a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) from the recorded and measured storm tide. For NOS tide gauges,the height of the water above Mean Higher High Water (MHHW) is used as a proxy for inundation. f Data not available after 2024 UTC 18 September 2019.Hurricane Humberto 26Table 5a.

NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTERTROPICAL CYCLONE REPORTHURRICANE HUMBERTO(AL092019)13–19 September 2019Stacy R. StewartNational Hurricane Center19 February 2020LAST BERMUDA RADAR REFLECTIVITY IMAGE AT 2249 UTC 18 SEPTEMBER 2019 WHEN HUMBERTO WAS MAKING ITSCLOSEST POINT OF APPROACH TO BERMUDA AS A MAJOR HURRICANE, JUST PRIOR TO A COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE.Humberto was a category 3 hurricane (on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale)that skirted the extreme eastern portions of the Bahamas before raking Bermuda withsustained hurricane-force winds for several hours that caused significant island-widedamage. The hurricane also produced large ocean swells and rip currents along thesoutheastern coast of the United States that resulted in two fatalities.Hurricane Humberto 2Hurricane Humberto13–19 SEPTEMBER 2019SYNOPTIC HISTORY A weak tropical wave moved off the west coast of Africa on 27 August, accompanied bylittle convection. The disturbance continued on a westward track across the deep tropical Atlanticfor the next several days before it began to interact with a mid- to upper-level trough a few hundredn mi east of the Lesser Antilles on 4 September. The westward motion of the northern portion ofthe wave was impeded by the southwesterly flow on the east side of the trough, which causedthe wave to fracture. By 6 September, the northern portion of the wave turned slowly toward thenorth-northwest while the southern portion of the wave continued to move quickly westwardtoward the southern Windward Islands.Little change to the northern wave’s structure occurred over the next few days whileassociated shower activity was minimal as the wave and the upper-level trough moved in tandemtoward the northwest. By 10 September, the disturbance was located just north of Hispaniola nearthe Turks and Caicos, moving slowly northwestward and parallel to the easternmost Bahamasarchipelago. Over the next 72 h, anticyclonic flow on the east side of the now negatively tiltedupper-level trough steadily increased, which aided in slow but steady development andorganization of deep convection along and east of the wave axis. The associated thunderstormactivity pulsed during this time, with a distinct increase in convection noted during the nighttimeperiod, followed by weakening during the daylight hours. Convection persisted despite its pulsingnature, with scatterometer wind data indicating that a broad surface low pressure system hadformed near the southeastern Bahamas by 1200 UTC 12 September. By early on 13 September,thunderstorms had organized into a narrow curved band in the northeastern quadrant of thesystem, and nearby ship and surface observations from the Bahamas indicated that the low-levelcirculation center (LLCC) had also become better-defined. Based on these data, it is estimatedthat a tropical depression formed by 1800 UTC that day about 75 n mi east of the centralBahamian island of Eleuthera. The cyclone strengthened into a tropical storm just 6 h later. The“best track” chart of the tropical cyclone’s path is given in Fig. 1, with the wind and pressurehistories shown in Figs. 2 and 3, respectively. The best track positions and intensities are listedin Table 11.Tropical Storm Humberto turned northwestward early on 14 September and maintainedthat motion for the next 48 h, accompanied by a slow forward speed of 3–7 kt due to the cyclonemoving through a narrow break in the Bermuda-Azores ridge. Despite moderate southwesterly towesterly 850–500-mb vertical wind shear (Fig. 4), slow-moving Humberto steadily strengthenedduring that time, attaining hurricane status by 0000 UTC 16 September when the cyclone briefly1 A digital record of the complete best track, including wind radii, can be found on line atftp://ftp.nhc.noaa.gov/atcf. Data for the current year’s storms are located in the btk directory, while previousyears’ data are located in the archive directory.Hurricane Humberto 3stalled about 150 n mi east-northeast of Cape Canaveral, Florida. The broad deep-layer troughlocated to the northwest of Humberto nudged the tropical cyclone east-northeastward at forwardspeeds of less than 10 kt for the next 48 h. During this time, the hurricane continued to steadilystrengthen despite strong vertical wind shear of near 30 kt and sharply decreasing mid-levelhumidity values (Fig. 4), with Humberto reaching major hurricane status by 0000 UTC 18September. Thereafter, only slight strengthening occurred through 0000 UTC 19 September whenHumberto passed about 55 n mi northwest of Bermuda with maximum sustained winds of 110 kt.Later that morning after passing to the north of Bermuda, Humberto began acceleratingnortheastward ahead of a broad trough and its associated cold front, with forward speedsincreasing from 15 kt to near 25 kt throughout the day. During this time, the hurricane also begana steady weakening trend due to increasing south-southwesterly vertical wind shear exceeding50 kt and entrainment of very dry mid-level air, despite the otherwise favorable sea-surfacetemperatures in excess of 27°C (Fig. 4).By early on 20 September, the hurricane finally succumbed to the strong vertical shearconditions and became devoid of any deep convection, causing Humberto to become anextratropical cyclone when it was located about 500 n mi south-southwest of Cape Race,Newfoundland. However, the expansive extratropical low continued to produce hurricane- andgale-force winds over a large area until the system merged with a larger extratropical low andfrontal system by 1800 UTC that day more than 300 n mi south-southwest of Cape Race.METEOROLOGICAL STATISTICS Observations in Humberto (Figs. 2 and 3) include subjective satellite-based Dvoraktechnique intensity estimates from the Tropical Analysis and Forecast Branch (TAFB) and theSatellite Analysis Branch (SAB), objective Advanced Dvorak Technique (ADT) estimates andSatellite Consensus (SATCON) estimates from the Cooperative Institute for MeteorologicalSatellite Studies/University of Wisconsin-Madison. Observations also include flight-level, steppedfrequency microwave radiometer (SFMR), and dropwindsonde observations from 10 flights by the53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron of the U.S. Air Force Reserve Command and 4 flightsby the NOAA Aircraft Operations Center (AOC), including 3 Tail Doppler Radar (TDR) missions,which resulted in a total of 27 center fixes and 7 center fixes, respectively. Data and imagery fromNOAA polar-orbiting satellites including the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU), theNASA Global Precipitation Mission (GPM), the European Space Agency’s AdvancedScatterometer (ASCAT), and Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellites, amongothers, were also useful in constructing the best track of Humberto.Selected ship and buoy reports of tropical-storm-force winds, plus other pertinent marineobservations, associated with Humberto are given in Table 2. Selected land-based surfaceobservations are given in Table 3.Hurricane Humberto 4Winds and Pressure Humberto’s estimated maximum intensity of 110 kt between 1800 UTC 18 September and0300 UTC 19 September is based on an average of a reconnaissance aircraft 700-mb flight-levelwind of 121 kt (which equates to an equivalent surface wind speed of 109 kt), SFMR surface windspeeds of 110–113 kt (Fig. 5), dropwindsonde WL150- and MBL-surface equivalent wind speedestimates of 105 and 103 kt, respectively, and UW-CIMSS SATCON satellite intensity estimatesof 112–116 kt. The reconnaissance and dropwindsonde data were collected within a narrow bandof convection in the southern eyewall where SFMR rain rate estimates were 11–15 mm/h (0.43–0.59 in/h). The highest wind speed measured by a dropwindsonde during Humberto’s lifetimewas 138 kt at the 890-mb level at 0249 UTC 19 September (Fig. 6a). This dropwindsonde wasreleased and remained in Humberto’s remnant southern eyewall until the splash time of 0249UTC 19 September (Fig. 6a). The instrument traversed the convection from west to east basedon the positions of the release and splash points being aligned perfectly along a 270-degree (true)direction. Although the sonde measured a surface wind speed of 114 kt, that value is an‘instantaneous’ 2-second sample, which is more representative of a wind gust rather than a 1-minsustained wind.The estimated minimum central pressure of 950 mb from 1800 UTC 18 September to0300 UTC 19 September is based on aircraft dropwindsonde eye reports of pressures of951–952 mb, which were accompanied by surface wind speeds of 10–20 kt. This pressureestimate is consistent with earlier pressure values of 954–955 mb measured by NOAA Buoy40148, located about 240 n mi west of Bermuda, when the center of Hurricane Humberto passedapproximately 6 n mi southeast of the buoy. At 0930 UTC 18 September, a minimum pressurevalue of 954.2 mb was reported, along with a coincident wind speed of 27 kt (4 m ASL), whichindicates that the central pressure at that time was likely around 951 mb (Table 3; Fig. 7).It should be noted that the steady pressure of 950–951 mb from 1800 UTC to 0300 UTC(Fig. 3) suggests that Humberto’s peak tangential winds likely remained steady at around 105 ktbased on various pressure-wind relationship equations. Radar data from Bermuda (Fig. 8)indicate that the eyewall was eroding quickly after 1800 UTC 18 September, and that the peakwinds measured by reconnaissance aircraft and dropwindsonde at 0248 UTC 19 September likelyoccurred in a very narrow eyewall, which is not indicative of an intensifying tropical cyclone,especially one that is approaching category 4 intensity. The additional increase in intensity asmeasured by reconnaissance aircraft was likely due to baroclinic forcing that produced a low-leveljet that may have had some characteristics similar to a “sting jet” that occurs in association withsome deepening extratropical low pressure systems (Browning 2004; Hart et al. 2017).By 1800 UTC 18 September, Humberto had moved into the right-rear entrance region ofan upper-level jet stream wind maximum (Fig. 9, left panel), where an existing transversecirculation (i.e., combined vertical and horizontal circulations; Fig. 9, right panel) was present(Bjerknes 1951). The rapid warming of the air column on the equatorward (southeast) side of thejet stream induced by Humberto’s intense warm core would have resulted in a sharp increase inthe strength of both the jet stream and the transverse circulation (Fig. 10), causing an accelerationof the low-level winds. This enhanced wind phenomenon can be seen in a time series plot ofsurface observations from the Bermuda airport (Fig. 11) late on 18 September where a peak Hurricane Humberto 510-min average wind speed of 71 kt and a gust to 101 kt occurred in conjunction with a sharptemperature decrease of at least 7°C (12°F) between 2328–2331 UTC. The much cooler air waslikely caused by cold downdrafts created by rain evaporating into dry air that was entrained intoHumberto’s southern eyewall. This ‘sting jet’ phenomenon may have persisted for several morehours based on the ‘onion-shaped’ temperature-dewpoint vertical profile shown in the 0249 UTC19 September dropwindsonde data (Fig. 6b) where drier air is noted in the 950–850-mb layer.Typically, the surface temperature in tropical cyclones is warmer than the air aloft unless thesurface layer has been modified by drier and cooler air that descends in convective downdrafts.The highest official wind speeds observed on Bermuda occurred late on 18 September.On the southwestern end of the island at Pearl Island, a 1-min sustained wind of 87 kt and a gustto 107 kt were measured at 2319 UTC 18 September. A 10-min average wind speed of 71 kt anda gust to 101 kt were measured on the northeastern end of the island at the L.F. WadeInternational Airport (TXKF) at 2328 UTC and by the AviMet-12 weather sensor located near thewest end of the runway at 2331 UTC, respectively. At the Bermuda Maritime Operations Centre(MAROPS) located on the north end of the island, a 1-min sustained wind of 94 kt and a gust of125 kt were measured at an elevation of 290 ft (88 m) at 2324 UTC. Reducing that sustained windto a standard 10-m elevation yields an equivalent 1-min wind speed of approximately 78 kt.There was an unofficial report of a 1-min sustained wind of 97 kt and a gust to 145 ktobserved by a private anemometer located on the roof of the Commissioner’s House atCommissioner’s Point (Fig. 12, left panel) at an elevation of 115 ft ASL (35 m). However, there issome uncertainty in the validity of this wind report due to the anemometer being located close tothe top of the building with a hipped-roof, which could cause winds flowing over the structure tobe accelerated by the Bernoulli Effect. Assuming that the wind data are valid, the 97-kt wind speedwould reduce to 89 kt at 10-m elevation.The Crescent Marine Navigation Aid (NAVAID) located offshore along the reef line about8 n mi northwest of Bermuda, measured a 10-min average wind speed of 82 kt and a gust to 113kt at an elevation of 6 m ASL at 2313 UTC (Fig. 12, right panel). Increasing the wind speed toabout 87 kt for a 10-m height (using a logarithmic vertical wind profile), and then adjusting thatvalue to a 1-min wind speed for an open marine exposure yields an equivalent wind speed ofapproximately 96 kt.The lowest reliable pressures on Bermuda occurred on the north end of the island at theairport when Humberto made its closest approach. A pressure of 978.8 mb was measured at 2321UTC 18 September by the AviMet-12 weather sensor, while a pressure of 979.3 mb was observedat the same time by the Bermuda (TXKF) airport official weather observing system (Table 4). Hurricane Humberto 6Storm Surge2 Storm surge values along the east coast of Florida (Table 4) were generally around 1.0 to1.5 ft, resulting in saltwater inundation levels of around 1 ft. On Bermuda, storm surge valueswere around 3 ft, mainly on the west-facing beaches.Rainfall and FloodingRainfall amounts on Bermuda were relatively light compared to most tropical cyclones. Astorm total rainfall of 1.57 inches was measured at the L.F. Wade International Airport (TXKF) on18–19 September. Rainfall amounts across the central and northwestern Bahamas, and the eastcoast of Florida, were less than one inch.CASUALTY AND DAMAGE STATISTICSHurricane Humberto was responsible for two direct deaths3 in the United States. A 22-year old man disappeared after going for a swim in the ocean off St. Augustine Beach, Florida,on 15 September. According to St. Johns County Fire-Rescue, the young man was last seen inthe water about 4 p.m. EDT that day, and was presumed to have drowned. The rough surf andstrong rip currents also resulted in 21 water rescues along the St. Johns County coast during theweekend of 14–15 September, with three people requiring hospitalization. Farther north along theU.S. coast on 18 September, a 62-year old man drowned in Humberto-induced rip currents atTopsail Beach, North Carolina.Humberto caused widespread damage and power outages on Bermuda. Powerful windgusts exceeding 100 kt across all of the island knocked down trees and power lines. Around28,000 customers, or more than 80% of the island’s subscribers, were without power at somepoint during the storm, which included a prolonged communications outage between the BermudaWeather Service and its Doppler weather radar system. The Bermuda Emergency Managementoffice reported that Humberto’s effects caused three structural fires and briefly forced the closure2 Several terms are used to describe water levels due to a storm. Storm surge is defined as the abnormalrise of water generated by a storm, over and above the predicted astronomical tide, and is expressed interms of height above normal tide levels. Because storm surge represents the deviation from normal waterlevels, it is not referenced to a vertical datum. Storm tide is defined as the water level due to thecombination of storm surge and the astronomical tide, and is expressed in terms of height above a verticaldatum, i.e. the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) or Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW).Inundation is the total water level that occurs on normally dry ground as a result of the storm tide, and isexpressed in terms of height above ground level. At the coast, normally dry land is roughly defined as areashigher than the normal high tide line, or Mean Higher High Water (MHHW).3 Deaths occurring as a direct result of the forces of the tropical cyclone are referred to as “direct” deaths.These would include those persons who drowned in storm surge, rough seas, rip currents, and freshwaterfloods. Direct deaths also include casualties resulting from lightning and wind-related events (e.g.,collapsing structures). Deaths occurring from such factors as heart attacks, house fires, electrocutions fromdowned power lines, vehicle accidents on wet roads, etc., are considered indirect” deaths.Hurricane Humberto 7of “The Causeway”, a road that connects the L.F. Wade International Airport in northern Bermudato the population centers in southern Bermuda, due to possible structural integrity issues.Information obtained from the Aon Re-Insurance Company’s (Aon.com) 2019 AnnualSummary indicate that damage losses on Bermuda caused by Hurricane Dorian, includingdamage to the new airport, exceed $25 million (USD).FORECAST AND WARNING CRITIQUEThe genesis of Humberto was adequately forecast. The wave from which Humbertodeveloped was first introduced in the Tropical Weather Outlook 198 h prior to genesis with a lowprobability of formation (<40%) in both the 48- and 120-h forecast periods (Table 2). However,the disturbance was dropped from the 48-h forecast period (hours shown in parentheses in Table2) when it became apparent that strong vertical wind shear was going to prevent genesis fromoccurring in the short term. The system was re-introduced into the 48-h period with a lowprobability of genesis 72 h before Humberto formed. The genesis probabilities for the disturbancewere increased to the medium category (40–60%) 48 h and 66 h before genesis for the 48- and120-h forecast periods, respectively. The genesis forecasts reached the high category (>60%)30 h and 42 h before genesis occurred for the 48- and 120-h forecast periods, respectively.A verification of NHC official track forecasts for Humberto is given in Table 5a. Officialforecast track errors (OFCL) were lower than the mean official errors for the previous 5-yr period,especially at 96 and 120 h where OFCL errors were about 45% and 30% better than average,respectively. Prior to Humberto being declared a tropical cyclone, Potential Tropical Cyclone(PTC) advisories were issued from 2100 UTC 12 September until 1800 UTC 13 September inanticipation of the disturbance producing tropical-storm-force winds across the northwesternBahamas and the Florida east coast. The OFCL forecasts were poor during the PTC stage, withthe first few advisories predicting landfall in the central and northwestern Bahamas and along theeast coast of the Florida peninsula (Fig. 13). However, moderate southwesterly vertical windshear (Fig. 4) during the PTC stage kept most of the deep convection displaced into thenortheastern portion of the circulation, resulting in the LLCC redeveloping to the east of theforecast tracks. Since the early OFCL forecasts were anticipating landfall, which would causeHumberto to weaken and become a shallow cyclone, they did not expect the storm to movethrough a weakness in the subtropical ridge situated off the southeastern coast of the UnitedStates. However, once Humberto became a tropical cyclone, track forecasts improvedsignificantly, including accurately predicting the pronounced decrease in forward speed and sharpturn toward the northeast when Humberto moved through a break in the ridge axis by early 16September. As a result, cross-track errors were small and no NHC forecasts took the center ofthe hurricane across Bermuda.A homogeneous comparison of the official track errors with selected guidance models isgiven in Table 5b. NHC official track forecasts outperformed all of the guidance models at 96 h,and were bested only slightly by the dynamical models EGRI (UKMET) and HMNI (HMON) atother time periods. The consensus models HCCA, FSSE (Florida State Superensemble), TVCA,TVCX, and TVDG had slightly lower track errors compared to OFCL at 12–48 h, but they were Hurricane Humberto 8significantly lower, by nearly 50%, at 120 h. The EMXI (ECMWF) had uncharacteristically largeerrors at all times, especially at the 72-, 96-, and 120-h periods, which were primarily due to alongtrack errors caused by a positive (fast) forward speed bias.A verification of NHC official intensity forecasts for Humberto is given in Table 6a. Officialforecast intensity errors were lower than the mean official errors for the previous 5-yr period in12–72 h and were greater than the mean errors at the 96- and 120-h periods. The larger-thanaverage errors at days 4 and 5 were due to a negative (low) intensity bias preceding Humberto’speak intensity, as forecasts did not anticipate Humberto’s continued strengthening in the face ofextremely hostile vertical wind shear conditions (Fig. 4) when the hurricane approached Bermuda.A positive (high) intensity bias later occurred due to forecasts not capturing the rapid weakeningtrend after Humberto peaked in intensity while passing to the northeast of Bermuda (Fig. 14).A homogeneous comparison of the official intensity errors with selected guidance modelsis given in Table 6b. NHC official intensity errors were lower than all of the dynamical models atall times, except for the EGRI and HWFI models, which bested OFCL at 12, 72, 96, and 120 h.The corrected-consensus models HCCA and FSSE were equal to or better than OFCL at all times.The global and regional models performed quite well by forecasting continued deepening ofHumberto, likely in response to strong baroclinic forcing when the hurricane was expected toencounter very unfavorable vertical wind shear conditions. However, the deepening process didnot equate to an increase in the eyewall pressure gradient and resultant increase in Humberto’sintensity, owing to the models’ baroclinic-induced pressure falls occurring over a relatively largearea both inside and outside the hurricane’s eye.Watches and warnings associated with Humberto are given in Table 7.A Tropical Storm Warning was issued for the northwestern Bahamas on the first PTCadvisory (2100 UTC 12 September) and a Tropical Storm Watch was issued for portions of theFlorida east coast on the second PTC advisory (0300 UTC 13 September). Due to Humberto’sactual path keeping the cyclone east of rather than through the Bahamas, the Tropical StormWarning for the northwestern Bahamas did not verify. Similarly, the Tropical Storm Watch for theFlorida east coast did not verify even though sustained winds of 32 kt along with wind gusts to 35kt (Table 4) occurred approximately 20 h after the Watch was issued.For Bermuda, the Tropical Storm Watch, Tropical Storm Warning, Hurricane Watch, andHurricane Warning were issued with lead times of approximately 48 h, 32 h, 32 h, and 26 h,respectively, before the arrival of tropical-storm-force winds on the island.Hurricane Humberto 9ReferencesBjerknes, J., 1951: Extratropical cyclones.

Stormtide is water height above Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) for NOS stations in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands,and Barbados. e Estimated inundation is the maximum height of water above ground. For some USGS storm tide pressure sensors,inundation is estimated by subtracting the elevation of the sensor from the recorded storm tide. For other USGSstorm tide sensors and USGS high-water marks, inundation is estimated by subtracting the elevation of the landderived from a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) from the recorded and measured storm tide. For NOS tide gauges,the height of the water above Mean Higher High Water (MHHW) is used as a proxy for inundation. f Data not available after 2024 UTC 18 September 2019.Hurricane Humberto 26Table 5a.

Which of the following hurricanes would you evacuate from, based on their name alone?

Inspired by a 2014 study by Kiju Jung et al, but I feel they didn't choose a wide range of names. Brutal blackpill for sandcels: The paper indeed looks silly to me, although there’s possibly something there. They report that the scariest-sounding names are, in order, Omar, Bertha, Cristobal...

NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTERTROPICAL CYCLONE REPORTHURRICANE HUMBERTO(AL092019)13–19 September 2019Stacy R. StewartNational Hurricane Center19 February 2020LAST BERMUDA RADAR REFLECTIVITY IMAGE AT 2249 UTC 18 SEPTEMBER 2019 WHEN HUMBERTO WAS MAKING ITSCLOSEST POINT OF APPROACH TO BERMUDA AS A MAJOR HURRICANE, JUST PRIOR TO A COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE.Humberto was a category 3 hurricane (on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale)that skirted the extreme eastern portions of the Bahamas before raking Bermuda withsustained hurricane-force winds for several hours that caused significant island-widedamage. The hurricane also produced large ocean swells and rip currents along thesoutheastern coast of the United States that resulted in two fatalities.Hurricane Humberto 2Hurricane Humberto13–19 SEPTEMBER 2019SYNOPTIC HISTORY A weak tropical wave moved off the west coast of Africa on 27 August, accompanied bylittle convection. The disturbance continued on a westward track across the deep tropical Atlanticfor the next several days before it began to interact with a mid- to upper-level trough a few hundredn mi east of the Lesser Antilles on 4 September. The westward motion of the northern portion ofthe wave was impeded by the southwesterly flow on the east side of the trough, which causedthe wave to fracture. By 6 September, the northern portion of the wave turned slowly toward thenorth-northwest while the southern portion of the wave continued to move quickly westwardtoward the southern Windward Islands.Little change to the northern wave’s structure occurred over the next few days whileassociated shower activity was minimal as the wave and the upper-level trough moved in tandemtoward the northwest. By 10 September, the disturbance was located just north of Hispaniola nearthe Turks and Caicos, moving slowly northwestward and parallel to the easternmost Bahamasarchipelago. Over the next 72 h, anticyclonic flow on the east side of the now negatively tiltedupper-level trough steadily increased, which aided in slow but steady development andorganization of deep convection along and east of the wave axis. The associated thunderstormactivity pulsed during this time, with a distinct increase in convection noted during the nighttimeperiod, followed by weakening during the daylight hours. Convection persisted despite its pulsingnature, with scatterometer wind data indicating that a broad surface low pressure system hadformed near the southeastern Bahamas by 1200 UTC 12 September. By early on 13 September,thunderstorms had organized into a narrow curved band in the northeastern quadrant of thesystem, and nearby ship and surface observations from the Bahamas indicated that the low-levelcirculation center (LLCC) had also become better-defined. Based on these data, it is estimatedthat a tropical depression formed by 1800 UTC that day about 75 n mi east of the centralBahamian island of Eleuthera. The cyclone strengthened into a tropical storm just 6 h later. The“best track” chart of the tropical cyclone’s path is given in Fig. 1, with the wind and pressurehistories shown in Figs. 2 and 3, respectively. The best track positions and intensities are listedin Table 11.Tropical Storm Humberto turned northwestward early on 14 September and maintainedthat motion for the next 48 h, accompanied by a slow forward speed of 3–7 kt due to the cyclonemoving through a narrow break in the Bermuda-Azores ridge. Despite moderate southwesterly towesterly 850–500-mb vertical wind shear (Fig. 4), slow-moving Humberto steadily strengthenedduring that time, attaining hurricane status by 0000 UTC 16 September when the cyclone briefly1 A digital record of the complete best track, including wind radii, can be found on line atftp://ftp.nhc.noaa.gov/atcf. Data for the current year’s storms are located in the btk directory, while previousyears’ data are located in the archive directory.Hurricane Humberto 3stalled about 150 n mi east-northeast of Cape Canaveral, Florida. The broad deep-layer troughlocated to the northwest of Humberto nudged the tropical cyclone east-northeastward at forwardspeeds of less than 10 kt for the next 48 h. During this time, the hurricane continued to steadilystrengthen despite strong vertical wind shear of near 30 kt and sharply decreasing mid-levelhumidity values (Fig. 4), with Humberto reaching major hurricane status by 0000 UTC 18September. Thereafter, only slight strengthening occurred through 0000 UTC 19 September whenHumberto passed about 55 n mi northwest of Bermuda with maximum sustained winds of 110 kt.Later that morning after passing to the north of Bermuda, Humberto began acceleratingnortheastward ahead of a broad trough and its associated cold front, with forward speedsincreasing from 15 kt to near 25 kt throughout the day. During this time, the hurricane also begana steady weakening trend due to increasing south-southwesterly vertical wind shear exceeding50 kt and entrainment of very dry mid-level air, despite the otherwise favorable sea-surfacetemperatures in excess of 27°C (Fig. 4).By early on 20 September, the hurricane finally succumbed to the strong vertical shearconditions and became devoid of any deep convection, causing Humberto to become anextratropical cyclone when it was located about 500 n mi south-southwest of Cape Race,Newfoundland. However, the expansive extratropical low continued to produce hurricane- andgale-force winds over a large area until the system merged with a larger extratropical low andfrontal system by 1800 UTC that day more than 300 n mi south-southwest of Cape Race.METEOROLOGICAL STATISTICS Observations in Humberto (Figs. 2 and 3) include subjective satellite-based Dvoraktechnique intensity estimates from the Tropical Analysis and Forecast Branch (TAFB) and theSatellite Analysis Branch (SAB), objective Advanced Dvorak Technique (ADT) estimates andSatellite Consensus (SATCON) estimates from the Cooperative Institute for MeteorologicalSatellite Studies/University of Wisconsin-Madison. Observations also include flight-level, steppedfrequency microwave radiometer (SFMR), and dropwindsonde observations from 10 flights by the53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron of the U.S. Air Force Reserve Command and 4 flightsby the NOAA Aircraft Operations Center (AOC), including 3 Tail Doppler Radar (TDR) missions,which resulted in a total of 27 center fixes and 7 center fixes, respectively. Data and imagery fromNOAA polar-orbiting satellites including the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU), theNASA Global Precipitation Mission (GPM), the European Space Agency’s AdvancedScatterometer (ASCAT), and Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellites, amongothers, were also useful in constructing the best track of Humberto.Selected ship and buoy reports of tropical-storm-force winds, plus other pertinent marineobservations, associated with Humberto are given in Table 2. Selected land-based surfaceobservations are given in Table 3.Hurricane Humberto 4Winds and Pressure Humberto’s estimated maximum intensity of 110 kt between 1800 UTC 18 September and0300 UTC 19 September is based on an average of a reconnaissance aircraft 700-mb flight-levelwind of 121 kt (which equates to an equivalent surface wind speed of 109 kt), SFMR surface windspeeds of 110–113 kt (Fig. 5), dropwindsonde WL150- and MBL-surface equivalent wind speedestimates of 105 and 103 kt, respectively, and UW-CIMSS SATCON satellite intensity estimatesof 112–116 kt. The reconnaissance and dropwindsonde data were collected within a narrow bandof convection in the southern eyewall where SFMR rain rate estimates were 11–15 mm/h (0.43–0.59 in/h). The highest wind speed measured by a dropwindsonde during Humberto’s lifetimewas 138 kt at the 890-mb level at 0249 UTC 19 September (Fig. 6a). This dropwindsonde wasreleased and remained in Humberto’s remnant southern eyewall until the splash time of 0249UTC 19 September (Fig. 6a). The instrument traversed the convection from west to east basedon the positions of the release and splash points being aligned perfectly along a 270-degree (true)direction. Although the sonde measured a surface wind speed of 114 kt, that value is an‘instantaneous’ 2-second sample, which is more representative of a wind gust rather than a 1-minsustained wind.The estimated minimum central pressure of 950 mb from 1800 UTC 18 September to0300 UTC 19 September is based on aircraft dropwindsonde eye reports of pressures of951–952 mb, which were accompanied by surface wind speeds of 10–20 kt. This pressureestimate is consistent with earlier pressure values of 954–955 mb measured by NOAA Buoy40148, located about 240 n mi west of Bermuda, when the center of Hurricane Humberto passedapproximately 6 n mi southeast of the buoy. At 0930 UTC 18 September, a minimum pressurevalue of 954.2 mb was reported, along with a coincident wind speed of 27 kt (4 m ASL), whichindicates that the central pressure at that time was likely around 951 mb (Table 3; Fig. 7).It should be noted that the steady pressure of 950–951 mb from 1800 UTC to 0300 UTC(Fig. 3) suggests that Humberto’s peak tangential winds likely remained steady at around 105 ktbased on various pressure-wind relationship equations. Radar data from Bermuda (Fig. 8)indicate that the eyewall was eroding quickly after 1800 UTC 18 September, and that the peakwinds measured by reconnaissance aircraft and dropwindsonde at 0248 UTC 19 September likelyoccurred in a very narrow eyewall, which is not indicative of an intensifying tropical cyclone,especially one that is approaching category 4 intensity. The additional increase in intensity asmeasured by reconnaissance aircraft was likely due to baroclinic forcing that produced a low-leveljet that may have had some characteristics similar to a “sting jet” that occurs in association withsome deepening extratropical low pressure systems (Browning 2004; Hart et al. 2017).By 1800 UTC 18 September, Humberto had moved into the right-rear entrance region ofan upper-level jet stream wind maximum (Fig. 9, left panel), where an existing transversecirculation (i.e., combined vertical and horizontal circulations; Fig. 9, right panel) was present(Bjerknes 1951). The rapid warming of the air column on the equatorward (southeast) side of thejet stream induced by Humberto’s intense warm core would have resulted in a sharp increase inthe strength of both the jet stream and the transverse circulation (Fig. 10), causing an accelerationof the low-level winds. This enhanced wind phenomenon can be seen in a time series plot ofsurface observations from the Bermuda airport (Fig. 11) late on 18 September where a peak Hurricane Humberto 510-min average wind speed of 71 kt and a gust to 101 kt occurred in conjunction with a sharptemperature decrease of at least 7°C (12°F) between 2328–2331 UTC. The much cooler air waslikely caused by cold downdrafts created by rain evaporating into dry air that was entrained intoHumberto’s southern eyewall. This ‘sting jet’ phenomenon may have persisted for several morehours based on the ‘onion-shaped’ temperature-dewpoint vertical profile shown in the 0249 UTC19 September dropwindsonde data (Fig. 6b) where drier air is noted in the 950–850-mb layer.Typically, the surface temperature in tropical cyclones is warmer than the air aloft unless thesurface layer has been modified by drier and cooler air that descends in convective downdrafts.The highest official wind speeds observed on Bermuda occurred late on 18 September.On the southwestern end of the island at Pearl Island, a 1-min sustained wind of 87 kt and a gustto 107 kt were measured at 2319 UTC 18 September. A 10-min average wind speed of 71 kt anda gust to 101 kt were measured on the northeastern end of the island at the L.F. WadeInternational Airport (TXKF) at 2328 UTC and by the AviMet-12 weather sensor located near thewest end of the runway at 2331 UTC, respectively. At the Bermuda Maritime Operations Centre(MAROPS) located on the north end of the island, a 1-min sustained wind of 94 kt and a gust of125 kt were measured at an elevation of 290 ft (88 m) at 2324 UTC. Reducing that sustained windto a standard 10-m elevation yields an equivalent 1-min wind speed of approximately 78 kt.There was an unofficial report of a 1-min sustained wind of 97 kt and a gust to 145 ktobserved by a private anemometer located on the roof of the Commissioner’s House atCommissioner’s Point (Fig. 12, left panel) at an elevation of 115 ft ASL (35 m). However, there issome uncertainty in the validity of this wind report due to the anemometer being located close tothe top of the building with a hipped-roof, which could cause winds flowing over the structure tobe accelerated by the Bernoulli Effect. Assuming that the wind data are valid, the 97-kt wind speedwould reduce to 89 kt at 10-m elevation.The Crescent Marine Navigation Aid (NAVAID) located offshore along the reef line about8 n mi northwest of Bermuda, measured a 10-min average wind speed of 82 kt and a gust to 113kt at an elevation of 6 m ASL at 2313 UTC (Fig. 12, right panel). Increasing the wind speed toabout 87 kt for a 10-m height (using a logarithmic vertical wind profile), and then adjusting thatvalue to a 1-min wind speed for an open marine exposure yields an equivalent wind speed ofapproximately 96 kt.The lowest reliable pressures on Bermuda occurred on the north end of the island at theairport when Humberto made its closest approach. A pressure of 978.8 mb was measured at 2321UTC 18 September by the AviMet-12 weather sensor, while a pressure of 979.3 mb was observedat the same time by the Bermuda (TXKF) airport official weather observing system (Table 4). Hurricane Humberto 6Storm Surge2 Storm surge values along the east coast of Florida (Table 4) were generally around 1.0 to1.5 ft, resulting in saltwater inundation levels of around 1 ft. On Bermuda, storm surge valueswere around 3 ft, mainly on the west-facing beaches.Rainfall and FloodingRainfall amounts on Bermuda were relatively light compared to most tropical cyclones. Astorm total rainfall of 1.57 inches was measured at the L.F. Wade International Airport (TXKF) on18–19 September. Rainfall amounts across the central and northwestern Bahamas, and the eastcoast of Florida, were less than one inch.CASUALTY AND DAMAGE STATISTICSHurricane Humberto was responsible for two direct deaths3 in the United States. A 22-year old man disappeared after going for a swim in the ocean off St. Augustine Beach, Florida,on 15 September. According to St. Johns County Fire-Rescue, the young man was last seen inthe water about 4 p.m. EDT that day, and was presumed to have drowned. The rough surf andstrong rip currents also resulted in 21 water rescues along the St. Johns County coast during theweekend of 14–15 September, with three people requiring hospitalization. Farther north along theU.S. coast on 18 September, a 62-year old man drowned in Humberto-induced rip currents atTopsail Beach, North Carolina.Humberto caused widespread damage and power outages on Bermuda. Powerful windgusts exceeding 100 kt across all of the island knocked down trees and power lines. Around28,000 customers, or more than 80% of the island’s subscribers, were without power at somepoint during the storm, which included a prolonged communications outage between the BermudaWeather Service and its Doppler weather radar system. The Bermuda Emergency Managementoffice reported that Humberto’s effects caused three structural fires and briefly forced the closure2 Several terms are used to describe water levels due to a storm. Storm surge is defined as the abnormalrise of water generated by a storm, over and above the predicted astronomical tide, and is expressed interms of height above normal tide levels. Because storm surge represents the deviation from normal waterlevels, it is not referenced to a vertical datum. Storm tide is defined as the water level due to thecombination of storm surge and the astronomical tide, and is expressed in terms of height above a verticaldatum, i.e. the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) or Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW).Inundation is the total water level that occurs on normally dry ground as a result of the storm tide, and isexpressed in terms of height above ground level. At the coast, normally dry land is roughly defined as areashigher than the normal high tide line, or Mean Higher High Water (MHHW).3 Deaths occurring as a direct result of the forces of the tropical cyclone are referred to as “direct” deaths.These would include those persons who drowned in storm surge, rough seas, rip currents, and freshwaterfloods. Direct deaths also include casualties resulting from lightning and wind-related events (e.g.,collapsing structures). Deaths occurring from such factors as heart attacks, house fires, electrocutions fromdowned power lines, vehicle accidents on wet roads, etc., are considered indirect” deaths.Hurricane Humberto 7of “The Causeway”, a road that connects the L.F. Wade International Airport in northern Bermudato the population centers in southern Bermuda, due to possible structural integrity issues.Information obtained from the Aon Re-Insurance Company’s (Aon.com) 2019 AnnualSummary indicate that damage losses on Bermuda caused by Hurricane Dorian, includingdamage to the new airport, exceed $25 million (USD).FORECAST AND WARNING CRITIQUEThe genesis of Humberto was adequately forecast. The wave from which Humbertodeveloped was first introduced in the Tropical Weather Outlook 198 h prior to genesis with a lowprobability of formation (<40%) in both the 48- and 120-h forecast periods (Table 2). However,the disturbance was dropped from the 48-h forecast period (hours shown in parentheses in Table2) when it became apparent that strong vertical wind shear was going to prevent genesis fromoccurring in the short term. The system was re-introduced into the 48-h period with a lowprobability of genesis 72 h before Humberto formed. The genesis probabilities for the disturbancewere increased to the medium category (40–60%) 48 h and 66 h before genesis for the 48- and120-h forecast periods, respectively. The genesis forecasts reached the high category (>60%)30 h and 42 h before genesis occurred for the 48- and 120-h forecast periods, respectively.A verification of NHC official track forecasts for Humberto is given in Table 5a. Officialforecast track errors (OFCL) were lower than the mean official errors for the previous 5-yr period,especially at 96 and 120 h where OFCL errors were about 45% and 30% better than average,respectively. Prior to Humberto being declared a tropical cyclone, Potential Tropical Cyclone(PTC) advisories were issued from 2100 UTC 12 September until 1800 UTC 13 September inanticipation of the disturbance producing tropical-storm-force winds across the northwesternBahamas and the Florida east coast. The OFCL forecasts were poor during the PTC stage, withthe first few advisories predicting landfall in the central and northwestern Bahamas and along theeast coast of the Florida peninsula (Fig. 13). However, moderate southwesterly vertical windshear (Fig. 4) during the PTC stage kept most of the deep convection displaced into thenortheastern portion of the circulation, resulting in the LLCC redeveloping to the east of theforecast tracks. Since the early OFCL forecasts were anticipating landfall, which would causeHumberto to weaken and become a shallow cyclone, they did not expect the storm to movethrough a weakness in the subtropical ridge situated off the southeastern coast of the UnitedStates. However, once Humberto became a tropical cyclone, track forecasts improvedsignificantly, including accurately predicting the pronounced decrease in forward speed and sharpturn toward the northeast when Humberto moved through a break in the ridge axis by early 16September. As a result, cross-track errors were small and no NHC forecasts took the center ofthe hurricane across Bermuda.A homogeneous comparison of the official track errors with selected guidance models isgiven in Table 5b. NHC official track forecasts outperformed all of the guidance models at 96 h,and were bested only slightly by the dynamical models EGRI (UKMET) and HMNI (HMON) atother time periods. The consensus models HCCA, FSSE (Florida State Superensemble), TVCA,TVCX, and TVDG had slightly lower track errors compared to OFCL at 12–48 h, but they were Hurricane Humberto 8significantly lower, by nearly 50%, at 120 h. The EMXI (ECMWF) had uncharacteristically largeerrors at all times, especially at the 72-, 96-, and 120-h periods, which were primarily due to alongtrack errors caused by a positive (fast) forward speed bias.A verification of NHC official intensity forecasts for Humberto is given in Table 6a. Officialforecast intensity errors were lower than the mean official errors for the previous 5-yr period in12–72 h and were greater than the mean errors at the 96- and 120-h periods. The larger-thanaverage errors at days 4 and 5 were due to a negative (low) intensity bias preceding Humberto’speak intensity, as forecasts did not anticipate Humberto’s continued strengthening in the face ofextremely hostile vertical wind shear conditions (Fig. 4) when the hurricane approached Bermuda.A positive (high) intensity bias later occurred due to forecasts not capturing the rapid weakeningtrend after Humberto peaked in intensity while passing to the northeast of Bermuda (Fig. 14).A homogeneous comparison of the official intensity errors with selected guidance modelsis given in Table 6b. NHC official intensity errors were lower than all of the dynamical models atall times, except for the EGRI and HWFI models, which bested OFCL at 12, 72, 96, and 120 h.The corrected-consensus models HCCA and FSSE were equal to or better than OFCL at all times.The global and regional models performed quite well by forecasting continued deepening ofHumberto, likely in response to strong baroclinic forcing when the hurricane was expected toencounter very unfavorable vertical wind shear conditions. However, the deepening process didnot equate to an increase in the eyewall pressure gradient and resultant increase in Humberto’sintensity, owing to the models’ baroclinic-induced pressure falls occurring over a relatively largearea both inside and outside the hurricane’s eye.Watches and warnings associated with Humberto are given in Table 7.A Tropical Storm Warning was issued for the northwestern Bahamas on the first PTCadvisory (2100 UTC 12 September) and a Tropical Storm Watch was issued for portions of theFlorida east coast on the second PTC advisory (0300 UTC 13 September). Due to Humberto’sactual path keeping the cyclone east of rather than through the Bahamas, the Tropical StormWarning for the northwestern Bahamas did not verify. Similarly, the Tropical Storm Watch for theFlorida east coast did not verify even though sustained winds of 32 kt along with wind gusts to 35kt (Table 4) occurred approximately 20 h after the Watch was issued.For Bermuda, the Tropical Storm Watch, Tropical Storm Warning, Hurricane Watch, andHurricane Warning were issued with lead times of approximately 48 h, 32 h, 32 h, and 26 h,respectively, before the arrival of tropical-storm-force winds on the island.Hurricane Humberto 9ReferencesBjerknes, J., 1951: Extratropical cyclones.

Stormtide is water height above Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) for NOS stations in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands,and Barbados. e Estimated inundation is the maximum height of water above ground. For some USGS storm tide pressure sensors,inundation is estimated by subtracting the elevation of the sensor from the recorded storm tide. For other USGSstorm tide sensors and USGS high-water marks, inundation is estimated by subtracting the elevation of the landderived from a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) from the recorded and measured storm tide. For NOS tide gauges,the height of the water above Mean Higher High Water (MHHW) is used as a proxy for inundation. f Data not available after 2024 UTC 18 September 2019.Hurricane Humberto 26Table 5a.

NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTERTROPICAL CYCLONE REPORTHURRICANE HUMBERTO(AL092019)13–19 September 2019Stacy R. StewartNational Hurricane Center19 February 2020LAST BERMUDA RADAR REFLECTIVITY IMAGE AT 2249 UTC 18 SEPTEMBER 2019 WHEN HUMBERTO WAS MAKING ITSCLOSEST POINT OF APPROACH TO BERMUDA AS A MAJOR HURRICANE, JUST PRIOR TO A COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE.Humberto was a category 3 hurricane (on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale)that skirted the extreme eastern portions of the Bahamas before raking Bermuda withsustained hurricane-force winds for several hours that caused significant island-widedamage. The hurricane also produced large ocean swells and rip currents along thesoutheastern coast of the United States that resulted in two fatalities.Hurricane Humberto 2Hurricane Humberto13–19 SEPTEMBER 2019SYNOPTIC HISTORY A weak tropical wave moved off the west coast of Africa on 27 August, accompanied bylittle convection. The disturbance continued on a westward track across the deep tropical Atlanticfor the next several days before it began to interact with a mid- to upper-level trough a few hundredn mi east of the Lesser Antilles on 4 September. The westward motion of the northern portion ofthe wave was impeded by the southwesterly flow on the east side of the trough, which causedthe wave to fracture. By 6 September, the northern portion of the wave turned slowly toward thenorth-northwest while the southern portion of the wave continued to move quickly westwardtoward the southern Windward Islands.Little change to the northern wave’s structure occurred over the next few days whileassociated shower activity was minimal as the wave and the upper-level trough moved in tandemtoward the northwest. By 10 September, the disturbance was located just north of Hispaniola nearthe Turks and Caicos, moving slowly northwestward and parallel to the easternmost Bahamasarchipelago. Over the next 72 h, anticyclonic flow on the east side of the now negatively tiltedupper-level trough steadily increased, which aided in slow but steady development andorganization of deep convection along and east of the wave axis. The associated thunderstormactivity pulsed during this time, with a distinct increase in convection noted during the nighttimeperiod, followed by weakening during the daylight hours. Convection persisted despite its pulsingnature, with scatterometer wind data indicating that a broad surface low pressure system hadformed near the southeastern Bahamas by 1200 UTC 12 September. By early on 13 September,thunderstorms had organized into a narrow curved band in the northeastern quadrant of thesystem, and nearby ship and surface observations from the Bahamas indicated that the low-levelcirculation center (LLCC) had also become better-defined. Based on these data, it is estimatedthat a tropical depression formed by 1800 UTC that day about 75 n mi east of the centralBahamian island of Eleuthera. The cyclone strengthened into a tropical storm just 6 h later. The“best track” chart of the tropical cyclone’s path is given in Fig. 1, with the wind and pressurehistories shown in Figs. 2 and 3, respectively. The best track positions and intensities are listedin Table 11.Tropical Storm Humberto turned northwestward early on 14 September and maintainedthat motion for the next 48 h, accompanied by a slow forward speed of 3–7 kt due to the cyclonemoving through a narrow break in the Bermuda-Azores ridge. Despite moderate southwesterly towesterly 850–500-mb vertical wind shear (Fig. 4), slow-moving Humberto steadily strengthenedduring that time, attaining hurricane status by 0000 UTC 16 September when the cyclone briefly1 A digital record of the complete best track, including wind radii, can be found on line atftp://ftp.nhc.noaa.gov/atcf. Data for the current year’s storms are located in the btk directory, while previousyears’ data are located in the archive directory.Hurricane Humberto 3stalled about 150 n mi east-northeast of Cape Canaveral, Florida. The broad deep-layer troughlocated to the northwest of Humberto nudged the tropical cyclone east-northeastward at forwardspeeds of less than 10 kt for the next 48 h. During this time, the hurricane continued to steadilystrengthen despite strong vertical wind shear of near 30 kt and sharply decreasing mid-levelhumidity values (Fig. 4), with Humberto reaching major hurricane status by 0000 UTC 18September. Thereafter, only slight strengthening occurred through 0000 UTC 19 September whenHumberto passed about 55 n mi northwest of Bermuda with maximum sustained winds of 110 kt.Later that morning after passing to the north of Bermuda, Humberto began acceleratingnortheastward ahead of a broad trough and its associated cold front, with forward speedsincreasing from 15 kt to near 25 kt throughout the day. During this time, the hurricane also begana steady weakening trend due to increasing south-southwesterly vertical wind shear exceeding50 kt and entrainment of very dry mid-level air, despite the otherwise favorable sea-surfacetemperatures in excess of 27°C (Fig. 4).By early on 20 September, the hurricane finally succumbed to the strong vertical shearconditions and became devoid of any deep convection, causing Humberto to become anextratropical cyclone when it was located about 500 n mi south-southwest of Cape Race,Newfoundland. However, the expansive extratropical low continued to produce hurricane- andgale-force winds over a large area until the system merged with a larger extratropical low andfrontal system by 1800 UTC that day more than 300 n mi south-southwest of Cape Race.METEOROLOGICAL STATISTICS Observations in Humberto (Figs. 2 and 3) include subjective satellite-based Dvoraktechnique intensity estimates from the Tropical Analysis and Forecast Branch (TAFB) and theSatellite Analysis Branch (SAB), objective Advanced Dvorak Technique (ADT) estimates andSatellite Consensus (SATCON) estimates from the Cooperative Institute for MeteorologicalSatellite Studies/University of Wisconsin-Madison. Observations also include flight-level, steppedfrequency microwave radiometer (SFMR), and dropwindsonde observations from 10 flights by the53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron of the U.S. Air Force Reserve Command and 4 flightsby the NOAA Aircraft Operations Center (AOC), including 3 Tail Doppler Radar (TDR) missions,which resulted in a total of 27 center fixes and 7 center fixes, respectively. Data and imagery fromNOAA polar-orbiting satellites including the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU), theNASA Global Precipitation Mission (GPM), the European Space Agency’s AdvancedScatterometer (ASCAT), and Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellites, amongothers, were also useful in constructing the best track of Humberto.Selected ship and buoy reports of tropical-storm-force winds, plus other pertinent marineobservations, associated with Humberto are given in Table 2. Selected land-based surfaceobservations are given in Table 3.Hurricane Humberto 4Winds and Pressure Humberto’s estimated maximum intensity of 110 kt between 1800 UTC 18 September and0300 UTC 19 September is based on an average of a reconnaissance aircraft 700-mb flight-levelwind of 121 kt (which equates to an equivalent surface wind speed of 109 kt), SFMR surface windspeeds of 110–113 kt (Fig. 5), dropwindsonde WL150- and MBL-surface equivalent wind speedestimates of 105 and 103 kt, respectively, and UW-CIMSS SATCON satellite intensity estimatesof 112–116 kt. The reconnaissance and dropwindsonde data were collected within a narrow bandof convection in the southern eyewall where SFMR rain rate estimates were 11–15 mm/h (0.43–0.59 in/h). The highest wind speed measured by a dropwindsonde during Humberto’s lifetimewas 138 kt at the 890-mb level at 0249 UTC 19 September (Fig. 6a). This dropwindsonde wasreleased and remained in Humberto’s remnant southern eyewall until the splash time of 0249UTC 19 September (Fig. 6a). The instrument traversed the convection from west to east basedon the positions of the release and splash points being aligned perfectly along a 270-degree (true)direction. Although the sonde measured a surface wind speed of 114 kt, that value is an‘instantaneous’ 2-second sample, which is more representative of a wind gust rather than a 1-minsustained wind.The estimated minimum central pressure of 950 mb from 1800 UTC 18 September to0300 UTC 19 September is based on aircraft dropwindsonde eye reports of pressures of951–952 mb, which were accompanied by surface wind speeds of 10–20 kt. This pressureestimate is consistent with earlier pressure values of 954–955 mb measured by NOAA Buoy40148, located about 240 n mi west of Bermuda, when the center of Hurricane Humberto passedapproximately 6 n mi southeast of the buoy. At 0930 UTC 18 September, a minimum pressurevalue of 954.2 mb was reported, along with a coincident wind speed of 27 kt (4 m ASL), whichindicates that the central pressure at that time was likely around 951 mb (Table 3; Fig. 7).It should be noted that the steady pressure of 950–951 mb from 1800 UTC to 0300 UTC(Fig. 3) suggests that Humberto’s peak tangential winds likely remained steady at around 105 ktbased on various pressure-wind relationship equations. Radar data from Bermuda (Fig. 8)indicate that the eyewall was eroding quickly after 1800 UTC 18 September, and that the peakwinds measured by reconnaissance aircraft and dropwindsonde at 0248 UTC 19 September likelyoccurred in a very narrow eyewall, which is not indicative of an intensifying tropical cyclone,especially one that is approaching category 4 intensity. The additional increase in intensity asmeasured by reconnaissance aircraft was likely due to baroclinic forcing that produced a low-leveljet that may have had some characteristics similar to a “sting jet” that occurs in association withsome deepening extratropical low pressure systems (Browning 2004; Hart et al. 2017).By 1800 UTC 18 September, Humberto had moved into the right-rear entrance region ofan upper-level jet stream wind maximum (Fig. 9, left panel), where an existing transversecirculation (i.e., combined vertical and horizontal circulations; Fig. 9, right panel) was present(Bjerknes 1951). The rapid warming of the air column on the equatorward (southeast) side of thejet stream induced by Humberto’s intense warm core would have resulted in a sharp increase inthe strength of both the jet stream and the transverse circulation (Fig. 10), causing an accelerationof the low-level winds. This enhanced wind phenomenon can be seen in a time series plot ofsurface observations from the Bermuda airport (Fig. 11) late on 18 September where a peak Hurricane Humberto 510-min average wind speed of 71 kt and a gust to 101 kt occurred in conjunction with a sharptemperature decrease of at least 7°C (12°F) between 2328–2331 UTC. The much cooler air waslikely caused by cold downdrafts created by rain evaporating into dry air that was entrained intoHumberto’s southern eyewall. This ‘sting jet’ phenomenon may have persisted for several morehours based on the ‘onion-shaped’ temperature-dewpoint vertical profile shown in the 0249 UTC19 September dropwindsonde data (Fig. 6b) where drier air is noted in the 950–850-mb layer.Typically, the surface temperature in tropical cyclones is warmer than the air aloft unless thesurface layer has been modified by drier and cooler air that descends in convective downdrafts.The highest official wind speeds observed on Bermuda occurred late on 18 September.On the southwestern end of the island at Pearl Island, a 1-min sustained wind of 87 kt and a gustto 107 kt were measured at 2319 UTC 18 September. A 10-min average wind speed of 71 kt anda gust to 101 kt were measured on the northeastern end of the island at the L.F. WadeInternational Airport (TXKF) at 2328 UTC and by the AviMet-12 weather sensor located near thewest end of the runway at 2331 UTC, respectively. At the Bermuda Maritime Operations Centre(MAROPS) located on the north end of the island, a 1-min sustained wind of 94 kt and a gust of125 kt were measured at an elevation of 290 ft (88 m) at 2324 UTC. Reducing that sustained windto a standard 10-m elevation yields an equivalent 1-min wind speed of approximately 78 kt.There was an unofficial report of a 1-min sustained wind of 97 kt and a gust to 145 ktobserved by a private anemometer located on the roof of the Commissioner’s House atCommissioner’s Point (Fig. 12, left panel) at an elevation of 115 ft ASL (35 m). However, there issome uncertainty in the validity of this wind report due to the anemometer being located close tothe top of the building with a hipped-roof, which could cause winds flowing over the structure tobe accelerated by the Bernoulli Effect. Assuming that the wind data are valid, the 97-kt wind speedwould reduce to 89 kt at 10-m elevation.The Crescent Marine Navigation Aid (NAVAID) located offshore along the reef line about8 n mi northwest of Bermuda, measured a 10-min average wind speed of 82 kt and a gust to 113kt at an elevation of 6 m ASL at 2313 UTC (Fig. 12, right panel). Increasing the wind speed toabout 87 kt for a 10-m height (using a logarithmic vertical wind profile), and then adjusting thatvalue to a 1-min wind speed for an open marine exposure yields an equivalent wind speed ofapproximately 96 kt.The lowest reliable pressures on Bermuda occurred on the north end of the island at theairport when Humberto made its closest approach. A pressure of 978.8 mb was measured at 2321UTC 18 September by the AviMet-12 weather sensor, while a pressure of 979.3 mb was observedat the same time by the Bermuda (TXKF) airport official weather observing system (Table 4). Hurricane Humberto 6Storm Surge2 Storm surge values along the east coast of Florida (Table 4) were generally around 1.0 to1.5 ft, resulting in saltwater inundation levels of around 1 ft. On Bermuda, storm surge valueswere around 3 ft, mainly on the west-facing beaches.Rainfall and FloodingRainfall amounts on Bermuda were relatively light compared to most tropical cyclones. Astorm total rainfall of 1.57 inches was measured at the L.F. Wade International Airport (TXKF) on18–19 September. Rainfall amounts across the central and northwestern Bahamas, and the eastcoast of Florida, were less than one inch.CASUALTY AND DAMAGE STATISTICSHurricane Humberto was responsible for two direct deaths3 in the United States. A 22-year old man disappeared after going for a swim in the ocean off St. Augustine Beach, Florida,on 15 September. According to St. Johns County Fire-Rescue, the young man was last seen inthe water about 4 p.m. EDT that day, and was presumed to have drowned. The rough surf andstrong rip currents also resulted in 21 water rescues along the St. Johns County coast during theweekend of 14–15 September, with three people requiring hospitalization. Farther north along theU.S. coast on 18 September, a 62-year old man drowned in Humberto-induced rip currents atTopsail Beach, North Carolina.Humberto caused widespread damage and power outages on Bermuda. Powerful windgusts exceeding 100 kt across all of the island knocked down trees and power lines. Around28,000 customers, or more than 80% of the island’s subscribers, were without power at somepoint during the storm, which included a prolonged communications outage between the BermudaWeather Service and its Doppler weather radar system. The Bermuda Emergency Managementoffice reported that Humberto’s effects caused three structural fires and briefly forced the closure2 Several terms are used to describe water levels due to a storm. Storm surge is defined as the abnormalrise of water generated by a storm, over and above the predicted astronomical tide, and is expressed interms of height above normal tide levels. Because storm surge represents the deviation from normal waterlevels, it is not referenced to a vertical datum. Storm tide is defined as the water level due to thecombination of storm surge and the astronomical tide, and is expressed in terms of height above a verticaldatum, i.e. the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) or Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW).Inundation is the total water level that occurs on normally dry ground as a result of the storm tide, and isexpressed in terms of height above ground level. At the coast, normally dry land is roughly defined as areashigher than the normal high tide line, or Mean Higher High Water (MHHW).3 Deaths occurring as a direct result of the forces of the tropical cyclone are referred to as “direct” deaths.These would include those persons who drowned in storm surge, rough seas, rip currents, and freshwaterfloods. Direct deaths also include casualties resulting from lightning and wind-related events (e.g.,collapsing structures). Deaths occurring from such factors as heart attacks, house fires, electrocutions fromdowned power lines, vehicle accidents on wet roads, etc., are considered indirect” deaths.Hurricane Humberto 7of “The Causeway”, a road that connects the L.F. Wade International Airport in northern Bermudato the population centers in southern Bermuda, due to possible structural integrity issues.Information obtained from the Aon Re-Insurance Company’s (Aon.com) 2019 AnnualSummary indicate that damage losses on Bermuda caused by Hurricane Dorian, includingdamage to the new airport, exceed $25 million (USD).FORECAST AND WARNING CRITIQUEThe genesis of Humberto was adequately forecast. The wave from which Humbertodeveloped was first introduced in the Tropical Weather Outlook 198 h prior to genesis with a lowprobability of formation (<40%) in both the 48- and 120-h forecast periods (Table 2). However,the disturbance was dropped from the 48-h forecast period (hours shown in parentheses in Table2) when it became apparent that strong vertical wind shear was going to prevent genesis fromoccurring in the short term. The system was re-introduced into the 48-h period with a lowprobability of genesis 72 h before Humberto formed. The genesis probabilities for the disturbancewere increased to the medium category (40–60%) 48 h and 66 h before genesis for the 48- and120-h forecast periods, respectively. The genesis forecasts reached the high category (>60%)30 h and 42 h before genesis occurred for the 48- and 120-h forecast periods, respectively.A verification of NHC official track forecasts for Humberto is given in Table 5a. Officialforecast track errors (OFCL) were lower than the mean official errors for the previous 5-yr period,especially at 96 and 120 h where OFCL errors were about 45% and 30% better than average,respectively. Prior to Humberto being declared a tropical cyclone, Potential Tropical Cyclone(PTC) advisories were issued from 2100 UTC 12 September until 1800 UTC 13 September inanticipation of the disturbance producing tropical-storm-force winds across the northwesternBahamas and the Florida east coast. The OFCL forecasts were poor during the PTC stage, withthe first few advisories predicting landfall in the central and northwestern Bahamas and along theeast coast of the Florida peninsula (Fig. 13). However, moderate southwesterly vertical windshear (Fig. 4) during the PTC stage kept most of the deep convection displaced into thenortheastern portion of the circulation, resulting in the LLCC redeveloping to the east of theforecast tracks. Since the early OFCL forecasts were anticipating landfall, which would causeHumberto to weaken and become a shallow cyclone, they did not expect the storm to movethrough a weakness in the subtropical ridge situated off the southeastern coast of the UnitedStates. However, once Humberto became a tropical cyclone, track forecasts improvedsignificantly, including accurately predicting the pronounced decrease in forward speed and sharpturn toward the northeast when Humberto moved through a break in the ridge axis by early 16September. As a result, cross-track errors were small and no NHC forecasts took the center ofthe hurricane across Bermuda.A homogeneous comparison of the official track errors with selected guidance models isgiven in Table 5b. NHC official track forecasts outperformed all of the guidance models at 96 h,and were bested only slightly by the dynamical models EGRI (UKMET) and HMNI (HMON) atother time periods. The consensus models HCCA, FSSE (Florida State Superensemble), TVCA,TVCX, and TVDG had slightly lower track errors compared to OFCL at 12–48 h, but they were Hurricane Humberto 8significantly lower, by nearly 50%, at 120 h. The EMXI (ECMWF) had uncharacteristically largeerrors at all times, especially at the 72-, 96-, and 120-h periods, which were primarily due to alongtrack errors caused by a positive (fast) forward speed bias.A verification of NHC official intensity forecasts for Humberto is given in Table 6a. Officialforecast intensity errors were lower than the mean official errors for the previous 5-yr period in12–72 h and were greater than the mean errors at the 96- and 120-h periods. The larger-thanaverage errors at days 4 and 5 were due to a negative (low) intensity bias preceding Humberto’speak intensity, as forecasts did not anticipate Humberto’s continued strengthening in the face ofextremely hostile vertical wind shear conditions (Fig. 4) when the hurricane approached Bermuda.A positive (high) intensity bias later occurred due to forecasts not capturing the rapid weakeningtrend after Humberto peaked in intensity while passing to the northeast of Bermuda (Fig. 14).A homogeneous comparison of the official intensity errors with selected guidance modelsis given in Table 6b. NHC official intensity errors were lower than all of the dynamical models atall times, except for the EGRI and HWFI models, which bested OFCL at 12, 72, 96, and 120 h.The corrected-consensus models HCCA and FSSE were equal to or better than OFCL at all times.The global and regional models performed quite well by forecasting continued deepening ofHumberto, likely in response to strong baroclinic forcing when the hurricane was expected toencounter very unfavorable vertical wind shear conditions. However, the deepening process didnot equate to an increase in the eyewall pressure gradient and resultant increase in Humberto’sintensity, owing to the models’ baroclinic-induced pressure falls occurring over a relatively largearea both inside and outside the hurricane’s eye.Watches and warnings associated with Humberto are given in Table 7.A Tropical Storm Warning was issued for the northwestern Bahamas on the first PTCadvisory (2100 UTC 12 September) and a Tropical Storm Watch was issued for portions of theFlorida east coast on the second PTC advisory (0300 UTC 13 September). Due to Humberto’sactual path keeping the cyclone east of rather than through the Bahamas, the Tropical StormWarning for the northwestern Bahamas did not verify. Similarly, the Tropical Storm Watch for theFlorida east coast did not verify even though sustained winds of 32 kt along with wind gusts to 35kt (Table 4) occurred approximately 20 h after the Watch was issued.For Bermuda, the Tropical Storm Watch, Tropical Storm Warning, Hurricane Watch, andHurricane Warning were issued with lead times of approximately 48 h, 32 h, 32 h, and 26 h,respectively, before the arrival of tropical-storm-force winds on the island.Hurricane Humberto 9ReferencesBjerknes, J., 1951: Extratropical cyclones.

Stormtide is water height above Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) for NOS stations in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands,and Barbados. e Estimated inundation is the maximum height of water above ground. For some USGS storm tide pressure sensors,inundation is estimated by subtracting the elevation of the sensor from the recorded storm tide. For other USGSstorm tide sensors and USGS high-water marks, inundation is estimated by subtracting the elevation of the landderived from a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) from the recorded and measured storm tide. For NOS tide gauges,the height of the water above Mean Higher High Water (MHHW) is used as a proxy for inundation. f Data not available after 2024 UTC 18 September 2019.Hurricane Humberto 26Table 5a.

GFS model analysis of the 200-mb height field (dm) at 1800 UTC 18 September 2019; Purple-dashed arrow indicates axis ofmaximum jetstream wind speeds and blue-shaded area depicts region of wind speeds >50 kt (left panel); cross-sectionalschematic diagram (oriented NW-SE through Humberto) illustrating the associated transverse circulation as Humbertoapproached the right-rear jetstream entrance region (right panel).Hurricane Humberto 40Figure 10. GFS model analysis of the 200-mb height field (dm) at 0000 UTC 19 September 2019; Purple-dashed arrow indicates axis ofmaximum jetstream wind speeds and blue-shaded area depicts region of wind speeds >50 kt (left panel); cross-sectionalschematic diagram (oriented NW-SE through Humberto) illustrating the enhanced/increased transverse circulation due toHumberto’s intense warm core superimposed onto the right-rear jetstream entrance region (right panel). Enhancement of thelow-level westerly branch of the transverse circulation likely produced a ‘sting jet’ type wind phenomenon that helped to increaseHumberto’s maximum wind during the time the cyclone’s eyewall was eroding and weakening.Hurricane Humberto 41Figure 11. Time series plot of selected surface observation data from L.F. Wade International Airport, Bermuda (TXKF), during the 48-hperiod 1200 UTC 18 September to 1200 UTC September 2019 during the passage of the southern eyewall of HurricaneHumberto over the island. Note the occurrence of the peak winds (10-min average and gusts) coincident with a sharp drop inthe ambient temperature around 2230 UTC 18 September, indicative of cold downdrafts that are driven by strong evaporativecooling.Hurricane Humberto 42Figure 12. Commissioner’s Point, Bermuda, observation location viewing west (left panel). Anemometer equipment located on the top ofthe roof could have produced accelerated and unrepresentative wind speeds due to the Bernoulli Effect created by air flowingover the hipped-roof on the Commissioner’s House structure.
