Tracking Invest 96L in the Atlantic
Timeline:
The NHC is tracking Invest 96L, which is located about halfway between Africa and the Windward Islands, as it moves westward across the Atlantic. The tropical wave became better organized overnight, the NHC said, increasing its odds of development to 90%.
If it holds, a tropical depression or tropical storm could develop on Thursday, the NHC said. The next storm name on the list is Dolly.
Unfavorable conditions ahead. Is redevelopment possible?
There is a large wall of El Nino-driven wind shear waiting near the leeward Islands, which would likely tear the system apart, according to the FOX 13 Weather Authority.
Is there a chance that remnants could redevelop? We will have to wait and see. This wave is still far away.
Any impacts for Florida?
No immediate impacts on the U.S. or Florida.
