Season 2011 – Invest92L – August 27th

Posted on August 28, 2011 by James Proctor

The National Hurricane Center is highlighting a new area in the Atlantic this evening. They have designated the Tropical Wave that just emerged off the coast of Africa as Invest 92L. We will be keeping an eye on this area over the coming weeks for signs of development and for possible impacts to the Islands and/or the United States. At this early point it appears that should this area develop rather quickly that it could recurve harmlessly out to sea east of the islands. However there is still a-lot of time for things to change.

 

Latest from the NHC on this area:

A LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS JUST OFF THE WEST COAST OF
AFRICA IS ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE.  THIS WAVE IS SHOWING
SOME SIGNS OF ORGANIZATION...AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS APPEAR
CONDUCIVE FOR ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
THIS SYSTEM HAS A LOW CHANCE...20 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL
CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS AS IT MOVES WESTWARD AT ABOUT 10
MPH.
