Associated Press

   MIAMI - The Bahamian government has discontinued a tropical storm
   warning as Humberto moves away from the island nation struggling to
   recover from Hurricane Dorian.
   The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Tropical Storm Humberto was
   expected to become a hurricane by Sunday night or early Monday but
   wouldn't threaten land by the time it intensifiedto that strength.
   Officials warnedthat the storm could still cause dangerous swells in
   the northwest Bahamas and along the coasts of Florida, Georgia and
   South Carolina later this weekend and early next week.
   At 5 p.m. EDT, the storm was located about 70 miles (113 kilometers)
   north of Great Abaco Island. Humberto was moving 7 mph (11 kph)
   north-northwest with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (80 kph).
