Overview
- The National Hurricane Center has raised Invest 97L’s seven-day development probability to 80% and expects it to become a tropical depression by midweek as it moves west-northwest at 15–20 mph.
- Locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds are possible across the Cabo Verde Islands through Monday as Invest 97L tracks nearby.
- Invest 96L in the central Atlantic holds a 20% chance of formation over seven days with surrounding dry air curbing early development.
- NOAA’s updated 2025 Atlantic hurricane outlook calls for 13–18 named storms, including five–nine hurricanes and two–five major hurricanes.
- Coastal communities from the Caribbean to the U.S. East Coast are advised to monitor these disturbances because their ultimate tracks and impacts remain uncertain.
