We are closely watching Invest #97L in the Caribbean. It is expected to become a depression or TS over the next day or so as it lifts toward Jamaica, then Cuba, then into the Gulf. How quickly it organizes and where it goes remains to be seen.

For those who “fall back” on time change this evening, a reminder NHC updates will appear as if to come out an hour early starting Sunday. This is because NHC does not honor DST, following Zulu(z) time instead. For those that don’t follow either or not changing time this evening, updates will appear as normal. 2Nov24 #97L #Patty

Don’t be surprised if you see Watches for portions of Florida issued today for invest #97L. Nothing has really changed - just closer in time to impacts arriving. PTC (Potential Tropical Cyclone) designation would let that information be disseminated before a storm forms for advanced lead times. #FLwx 2Aug24
GFS and Euro spaghetti models Thursday 1Aug24 to next Wednesday.
Invest #97L (Invest = area of interest = dedicates more resources to monitor potential tropical trouble. Breezy scattered shower blob for now.)
