TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Powerful Category 4 Hurricane Humberto picked up speed overnight on Saturday and is now moving northwest at around 13 mph, the National Hurricane Center said.

The storm is expected to start turning back toward the north Sunday morning before making a sharp turn toward the northeast and heading back for the open Atlantic by Monday evening. As of 5 a.m. on Sunday, Humberto was around 585 miles south of Bermuda.

The hurricane is not expected to make landfall, but will likely bring swells and rough seas to portions of the Caribbean islands, as well as Bermuda and the Southeast U.S.

With maximum sustained winds measuring 155 mph, Humberto is nearly a Category 5 storm, which requires speeds of 157 mph or higher. NHC predicts Humberto will retain its major hurricane status
