Invest 90L becoming better organized over the Yucatan Peninsula, expected to develop

Invest 90L is likely to develop into a tropical cyclone by Sunday morning, and will likely make landfall somewhere between the western Florida Panhandle and eastern Louisiana.

Invest 90L likely to develop over Gulf of Mexico this weekend – heavy rain remains the primary threat

Showers and thunderstorms have become slightly better organized with Invest 90L, currently located over the northeastern Yucatan Peninsula.

It begins: Tropical Depression One-E forms over the open eastern Pacific

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) issued their first tropical cyclone advisory of 2018 Thursday afternoon, with the initiation of advisories on Tropical Depression One-E over the Eastern Pacific. Invest 90E, which remained poorly organized on Wednesday, became better organized Thursday with the formation of a sufficiently well defined circulation to be classified as a tropical depression. One-E is not expected to become a named tropical storm, and is likely to degenerate into a remnant low by late Friday. One-E is…

Invest 90E running out of time to develop

Invest 90E running out of time to develop

Invest 90E over the Eastern Pacific has struggled to develop persistent deep convection near its elongated center of circulation, and chances of it developing into a tropical cyclone are diminishing. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) gave it a 50 percent chance of development, both within 48 hours and five days in a Special Tropical Weather Outlook issued at 10:25 AM PDT (1:25 PM EDT). This is down from the 70 percent chance NHC gave 90E early Wednesday morning. Because 90E…

Pre-season tropical development possible in Eastern Pacific next week

Pre-season tropical development possible in Eastern Pacific next week

Although the trough near the Bahamas did not develop into a tropical or subtropical cyclone, there is a strong model consensus that the first tropical cyclone of the 2018 Pacific hurricane season may form next week. An area of low pressure is expected to form over the open Pacific near 10°N 120°W, and this system will need to be watched for potential development next week as it moves west-northwestward or northwestward. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has not yet mentioned…
