Invests 99L in Atlantic, 92E in Eastern Pacific could develop this weekend

Two investigative areas “invests” – one over the Atlantic (Invest 99L) and one over the Eastern Pacific (92E) have a good chance to develop into tropical depressions this weekend. 99L – an area of low pressure we have been tracking in the Atlantic for over a week – is expected to move into a more conducive environment for development this weekend as wind shear is expected to decrease. Invest 92E, associated with the remnants of Atlantic Hurricane Franklin, is very…

Hurricane Franklin made landfall in the Mexican state of Veracruz around 1:00 a.m. CDT as a category 1 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 75 knots (85 mph) and a minimum pressure of 988 mb. Franklin’s circulation quickly dissipated over the mountains of central Mexico. However, the mid-level remnant energy of Franklin has a medium chance of regenerating into a tropical cyclone over the Eastern Pacific, but if regeneration does occur, the new storm should be short-lived. Invest 99L remains…

Tropical Storm Franklin has strengthened today as it has approached the Yucatan Peninsula, although the cyclone has not rapidly intensified as much as previously expected. Although additional intensification seems unlikely before its first landfall over the Yucatan Peninsula, Franklin is expected. Aside from Franklin, it is still too soon to write off the struggling Invest 99L over the tropical Atlantic, which has a chance to develop into a tropical cyclone east of the Bahamas. Franklin likely to weaken over the…

The Atlantic is really heating up as we get into August. Two tropical waves over the Atlantic have potential to develop into a tropical cyclone over the next several days. The first one, Invest 99L, is a vigorous, large tropical wave with a broad area of low pressure centered south of the Cabo Verde Islands. The second one, Invest 90L, is a strong tropical wave located over the eastern Caribbean Sea. Both have potential to possibly strengthen and impact land…
