Humberto Becomes Season's First Hurricane, Misses Record

By Andrea Thompson, Planet Earth Editor | September 11, 2013 09:38am ET

Hurricane Humberto appears as a characteristic swirl in the Eastern Atlantic on the morning of Sept. 11, 2013. Humberto was the first hurricane of the 2013 season and narrowly missed being the latest-forming hurricane on record (a title held by 2002's Hurricane Gustav, which formed three hours later than Humberto on Sept. 11 of that year).

As expected, what was Tropical Storm Humberto became the first hurricane of the 2013 season early this morning (Sept. 11), narrowly missing out on becoming the latest-forming first hurricane in the modern

record.
Humberto was upgraded to a hurricane at 5 a.m. EDT today, and is currently sporting maximum sustained winds of 75 mph (120 km/h), just above the 74-mph threshold between tropical storms and hurricanes. The hurricane could strengthen more today before weakening on Thursday, according to the latest forecast from the National

Hurricane Center (NHC).
Humberto's transition into a hurricane occurred on the same day as Hurricane Gustav in 2002, but happened three hours earlier, according to University

of Miami hurricane researcher Brian McNoldy, which meant Humberto just missed out on snagging the record for latest hurricane to form in a season in the era of aircraft reconnaissance and satellites (since about 1944). [Image Gallery: Hurricane Season 2013]
