Overview

• The National Hurricane Center is monitoring Invest 97-L, a disorganized tropical wave southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands.
• An NHC official says environmental conditions could allow a tropical depression to form in the early to middle part of the week.
• The system is moving west-northwest to northwest at roughly 15 to 20 mph across the central and eastern tropical Atlantic.
• WPBF reports a 50% chance of development over the next seven days, while an NHC product cited by WDSU lists 10% in two days and 30% in seven days.
• Models indicate a recurvature over open water with no expected impacts to land, and a named storm would be called Lorenzo if it forms.
