Invest 92-L and Invest 93-L are each looming in the Atlantic just one day after the peak of hurricane season. The NHC tagged two additional area they would monitor for development this morning. While Invest 92-L previously had a higher chance for development, the NHC says those chances will soon come to an end.
The area of elongated low pressure is currently producing some disorganized showers and thunderstorms over the central tropical Atlantic. As the invest moves westward, environmental conditions seem marginally conducive for development, but the system is expected to reach an area of strong upper-level winds Thursday, likely ending its chances for development. Formation chances remain low for Invest 92-L, holding at just 30% for the next 48 hours and the next seven days.
Invest 93-L: Eastern and Central Tropical Atlantic
The NHC is also monitoring a second invest with higher chances of formation. This trough of low pressure near the Cabo Verde Islands is producing a large but disorganized area of showers and thunderstorms that extends southwestward for several hundred miles. According to the NHC, environmental conditions appear favorable for gradual development of this system and a tropical depression is set to form later this week as the system moves west-northwestward. Formation chances in the next 48 hours are currently medium (40%), but jump to 80% in the next week.
