Redevelopment Less Likely for Remnants of Dolly as Invest 97-L Formation Chances Increase, NHC Says
The NHC gives Invest 97-L a 50% chance of forming in 48 hours while Dolly’s remnants could bring heavy rain and gusty winds to the Caribbean.
On Monday, the National Hurricane Center tracked Invest 97-L, a low-pressure area 100 miles south of Louisiana, with forecasters assigning a 70% chance of development over the next two to seven days.
An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft will investigate the system Monday morning to assess its potential, while southern Louisiana faces a marginal risk for heavy rainfall and flash flooding.
Named Edouard if it develops, the disturbance is drifting across the northern Gulf, bringing locally heavy rain and storms to the coast.
Meanwhile, the remnants of Tropical Storm Dolly continue producing showers and thunderstorms near Puerto Rico, moving west-northwest to bring gusty winds and heavy rain to the Virgin Islands and Caribbean Islands.
With a 20% chance of development over the next seven days, Dolly's remnants may bring enhanced rainfall across South Florida later this week if it traverses the Greater Antilles.
