Tropical update: Invest 97L develops in Atlantic
Things are getting more interesting in the tropics! In the Atlantic basin, Invest 97-L is a well-defined tropical wave near Hispaniola that the National hurricane center is giving a high 70% chance for development over the next week. It is now forecast to move over Cuba and then will likely push into the eastern Gulf of Mexico by this weekend. Both the GFS & exclusive Fox model are bringing this system into the Big Bend of Florida by Sunday and Monday. So we could have another hurricane in the Gulf by this weekend. Right now Houston is not in the danger zone. But keep checking back as we get more forecast updates. As always, make sure you are always prepared for a hurricane by having your emergency gear kit and knowing your evacuation routes!
