Don briefly became the first hurricane of the season but is now back to a tropical storm. Meanwhile, Invest 95-L, the tropical wave in the Central Atlantic Ocean, is facing obstacles and reduced chances of development due to dry air in the Atlantic. However, it may still become a depression with the possibility of further development towards the Caribbean and Lesser Antilles by next week.
Don, the first hurricane of the season, has returned to being a tropical storm and is expected to pose no threat to any land areas as it moves east of the Canadian Maritimes over the coming days. On the other hand, Invest 95-L, the tropical wave in the Central Atlantic, is encountering challenges in its development. The National Hurricane Center has decreased its chances of becoming a tropical storm due to the presence of dry air in the Atlantic Ocean.
Despite the reduction in the likelihood of development, experts believe that Invest 95-L will continue moving westward, getting closer to the Lesser Antilles by the early part of the week. Overcoming the dry air is a critical factor for it to evolve further, and there is still a possibility that it may intensify into a depression or even the next named storm once it acquires more moisture as it approaches the Caribbean and Lesser Antilles around Tuesday.
While there are concerns about the tropical wave's potential impact on Central America by next weekend, it is not expected to be a significant threat to the Gulf of Mexico or the United States in the upcoming week. The situation will continue to be monitored for any changes.
In terms of local weather, the seven-day forecast predicts a return of heat with temperatures reaching the mid-90s. Daily shower and storm chances are anticipated but could be sporadic.
Despite reduced chances of development for Invest 95-L, experts will continue to monitor its progress as it approaches the Caribbean and Lesser Antilles. Meanwhile, residents in the Gulf of Mexico and the United States can breathe a sigh of relief as there are currently no tropical threats on the horizon.
