Maximum sustained winds remain near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. Gradual strengthening is forecast, and Humberto is expected to become a hurricane by Sunday night. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles (150 km) to the north and east of the center. The estimated minimum central pressure just reported by an Air Force reconnaissance plane was 1004 mb (29.65 inches).
