SUMMARY: The National Hurricane Center has identified a system in the western Caribbean, designated as Invest 97L, with a high chance of developing over the next week. There’s a 50% likelihood it will become a named storm within two days. Current conditions show warm water temperatures conducive to strengthening, but high wind shear may hinder development. As the week progresses, forecasts indicate potential landfall near Apalachicola, Florida, with track models clustering east of the area. Changes in high-pressure patterns and interactions with a low-pressure system will influence the storm’s path, which remains uncertain. Updates will continue as the situation develops.

Meteorologist Devon Lucie starts off with the breaking news in the tropics with what’s now identified as Invest 97-L and forecast to move into the Gulf of Mexico through the week. He’ll show us where it’s initial forecast track is taking the system, what will influence the path, and how confident this forecast is right now.
