Development Chances: The National Hurricane Center estimates a 70% chance of development for Invest 99L.
Expected Behavior: The system is anticipated to remain out to sea from the weekend into early next week. The Gulf, Caribbean, and other parts of the Atlantic are currently quiet, but changes may occur later this month.
Central American Gyre: There are predictions that this gyre will organize over the next few weeks in the Caribbean Sea, potentially developing a vortex that could move into the Gulf.
Monitoring: Any northward-moving vortex will need close observation for possible tropical development.
Hurricane Season: We are still in the peak of hurricane season, with expectations for more areas of interest in the coming weeks.
