Hurricane Center: Tropical Storm May Be Forming

The Weather Channel reports:

The National Hurricane Center is watching a cluster of thunderstorms off the coast of Florida for possible tropical development later this week. Chances for development are increasing, as the system is becoming better defined. This area of low pressure is currently just east of Florida’s Atlantic coast. The NHC is calling this “Invest 93L”, a term used to identify systems that could develop, allowing more sophisticated, high-resolution computer models to be run on them.

If a tropical storm does develop, it would be named Dexter. Forecasts show the low tracking across the Florida Peninsula Tuesday, and entering into the northeastern Gulf by Wednesday.

The National Weather Service is urging residents and visitors, anywhere from Florida to Texas, to stay up to date with the forecast and follow any guidance issued in regard to any tropical development.
