Invest 94L Struggles but Still Has High Chance of Tropical Depression Development
Tropical Disturbance Invest 94L, currently a large area of low pressure with disorganized thunderstorms, is expected to develop into at least a tropical depression this week as it moves towards the northeastern Caribbean islands. The strength of the system will determine its track, with a weaker system more likely to directly affect the islands and a stronger system potentially turning north. The latest computer forecasts favor a weaker system, but confidence in any one forecast is low until an organized system forms. There is no threat to the U.S. or surrounding areas, as a cold front will block any westward path. Tropical Depression Sean is dissipating in the central Atlantic, while a broad area of low pressure over Central America is expected to gain strength in the coming weeks.
