National Hurricane Center tags Invest 92-L in Gulf
Key Points:
- The National Hurricane Center has designated a low-pressure area in the southwestern Gulf as Invest 92-L, indicating it is under investigation for potential tropical development.
- The system currently has 30 mph winds and a central pressure of 1010 mb, with a 60% chance of formation in the next two days and 80% over the next seven days.
- Meteorologists suggest the disturbance could become a tropical depression by the end of the week but is expected to remain weak and stay west of Central Florida.
- Increasing wind shear in the northern Gulf later this week may inhibit the system from strengthening, potentially keeping the hurricane season quiet.
- There is uncertainty in the storm’s projected path, with model tracks showing a slight eastward shift but a wide range of possible movements.
