Tracking three tropical disturbances: When will we see Beryl?

The tropics are active and we are tracking three areas of interest as we head into the weekend. One area of interest will likely become a named storm by Saturday.

We are currently monitoring three tropical disturbances in the Atlantic Basin. One of these disturbances, Invest 95L, has a high chance of development, sitting at 90% through the weekend. It is likely that we will see this area become a tropical depression or storm by Saturday. The next name on the list is Beryl.

Invest 95L is still far out, but we will be monitoring this system carefully as it moves west and reaches the Lesser Antilles by the weekend. We are also tracking two other systems with low chances of development. Invest 94L is approaching the Yucatán Peninsula and will emerge over the Bay of Campeche this weekend. While the chances for development are low, drenching rain will impact Mexico and parts of Central America.

Finally, a new tropical disturbance is being monitored in the eastern Atlantic Ocean in the wake of Invest 95L. This disturbance is a few hundred miles south-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands and currently has a low chance of development. Some slow development of this system is possible early next week.
