Invest 97-L likely to impact Florida this week
SUMMARY: There are promising updates regarding a potential tropical system off the coast of Africa and another close to home with a 90% chance of development in the next week. It is likely to form into a tropical depression soon. The system is tracking toward the eastern Gulf of Mexico, near the Florida Panhandle. Rain is expected, but amounts will be lower than for areas to the east. Humidity will decrease mid-week, providing temporary relief from muggy conditions. Temperatures will reach the upper 80s to low 90s, with a heat index approaching 100. Increased rain chances are anticipated later in the week.
Expect to see a mostly sunny day with a few scattered showers in the afternoon. Highs will be in the upper 80s to low 90s but will feel closer to 100.

Monday 5am Tropical Update: Hurricane likely in the Gulf this week
SUMMARY: Confidence is growing that a developing weather system is primarily a Florida concern rather than affecting the central Gulf Coast. Currently, it’s an unorganized area of showers and storms, expected to evolve into a depression, storm, and potentially a hurricane as it enters the Gulf by late Tuesday to Wednesday morning. Satellite imagery shows the system’s progress, with Hurricane Hunters scheduled to investigate its development. The storm is forecasted to move northwest, then turn north as an upper-level trough weakens the prevailing ridge of high pressure, causing it to accelerate as it approaches Florida.
