Tropical Storm Ida forms over the Northwestern Caribbean – a significant hurricane threat to the northern Gulf Coast

Comments 0 Comment

The ninth tropical storm of the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season, Tropical Storm Ida, was named Thursday evening over the northwestern Caribbean Sea. Ida has a very favorable environment for significant intensification over the next several days. The global model consensus indicates that Ida is likely to become a powerful hurricane over the central Gulf of Mexico, with significant deepening likely up until around the time of landfall. In addition to Ida, both Invests 97L and 98L have potential to develop…

The first, Invest 98L, is a trough of low pressure just east of South Florida, and is likely to become a tropical depression by Sunday as it moves northeastward. The second, Invest 99L, is a small area of low pressure over the central tropical Atlantic that is gradually…

Although the Atlantic currently has no tropical cyclones active, there are four systems being monitored for potential development. The first, Invest 97L, is an area of low pressure east of the Windward Islands which is headed for less favorable conditions, and development appears unlikely. The second, Invest 98L, is a broad area of low pressure southeast of Bermuda, which could gradually gain tropical characteristics some time next week. The third, Invest 99L, is a vigorous tropical wave which has recently…

Comments 0 Comment

There are currently no active tropical cyclones in the Atlantic or eastern Pacific basins, but there is a low pressure system that may develop in each basin. In the Atlantic, a non-tropical low (Invest 98L) is developing a new center of circulation and could gradually acquire subtropical characteristics by early Thursday. In the eastern Pacific, a well-defined low pressure system (Invest 97E) is likely to develop into a tropical depression over the next day or two as it tracks westward…

Invest 98L has a low chance to develop over Eastern Gulf of Mexico, Noru rapidly intensifies to Earth’s strongest tropical cyclone of 2017

Comments 0 Comment

A well-defined area of low pressure located along a dissipating cold front in the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico was designated Invest 98L by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) Sunday morning. Aside from 98L, a tropical wave in the central tropical Atlantic is becoming less likely to develop due to dry air. In the Western Pacific, Typhoon Noru explosively intensified to Earth’s first category 5 tropical cyclone of 2017, but has since weakened slightly. In the Eastern Pacific, Hilary has now…
