NEW YORK (Reuters) - While most weather models show the remnants of Humberto reaching Virginia and the Carolinas later Friday, a few models suggest the system could turn south and reenter the oil-rich Gulf of Mexico over the weekend.

If the storm returns to warm Gulf waters, AccuWeather warned the oil and natural gas industry to watch for tropical development.

Humberto crashed into the east Texas coast early Thursday as a hurricane with 80 mile per hour winds.

In its last advisory on Humberto at 5 a.m. EDT (0900 GMT) Friday, the NHC said remnants of the tropical depression, with maximum sustained winds of 20 mph, were located about 10 miles northwest of Vicksburg, Mississippi.
