Two Areas to Watch

The National Hurricane Center (NHC), is monitoring the progress of two disturbances in the Atlantic Basin.


INVEST 90L

This first system is located roughly 500 miles ENE of Bermuda.  An Invest is an area NHC would like to INVEST-igate further, 90 is a tracking number, and "L" stands for Atlantic Basin. 

This spin has a high chance of becoming the first named system of the 2021 season. If it does develop, it will be called,"Ana".

It may form into a subtropical storm which is basically a system with a cold core and much of the wind and rain removed far from the center. 

Bermuda has issued a Tropical Storm watch because of the proximity to the system.  If it does develop, it should eventually move north into the cold waters of the Northern Atlantic. 

INVEST 91L

A good looking spin is sitting in the NW Gulf of Mexico. This area of clouds and rain has a medium chance for development at only 40%. 

Even if it doesn't organize it will drop more rain over areas that have seen plenty of downpours in the last few days. 

Texas and Louisiana have seen flood advisories since Tuesday.

Where are they headed?

Invest 90L


Its shows the system lingering near Bermuda, until the jet stream moves in over the next 24-48 hours. It will then swing NE, or turn southwest before heading out into the open waters of the Atlantic. No worries for U.S. interests.

Invest 91L


Upon moving onshore, the rain will travel across Texas and Louisiana. If the low survives, the remnant moisture could reach the Great Lakes region.  


We'll be watching
