Hurricane Center Ups Development Odds for Gulf System, Remnants of Dolly that Could Threaten Florida
The National Hurricane Center says both systems have only a 30% chance of development over the next seven days.
- On Sunday, the National Hurricane Center began monitoring a low-pressure system tagged Invest 97L, located about 125 miles south of the southeastern Louisiana coast.
- Separately, the remnants of Tropical Storm Dolly are producing heavy rain and gusty winds across Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the northern Leeward Islands in the Caribbean.
- Forecasters estimate a 30% chance of development for the Gulf system and 20% for the Caribbean wave over the next seven days, as dry air and wind shear hinder strengthening.
- Drifting westward, the Gulf system is expected to move toward Louisiana and Texas coasts, while Caribbean remnants track toward Hispaniola and eastern Cuba, with conditions becoming more conducive by mid-week.
- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recently updated its seasonal forecast to expect between seven and 13 named storms this year, with peak activity continuing through mid-October.
