Invest 97L: Which parts of US should be cautious
As mentioned above, forecasters feel Invest 97L could develop into a hurricane. In fact, USA Today reported that forecasters gave it a 80 percent chance to develop in the next seven days.
The hurricane center has warned 'environmental conditions appear conducive for further development of this system, and a tropical depression is likely to form by the middle to latter portion of this week while moving ... across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic', adding 'Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds are possible today and Monday (Aug. 10 and 11) across the Cabo Verde Islands.'
AccuWeather warned, 'Any development could bring impacts for a large swath from the Caribbean to the United States East Coast," as per USA Today. AccuWeather added that coastal and travel interests in the Caribbean, and US Atlantic and Gulf coasts should monitor the situation closely since it may very well pose the first significant tropical threat of the season.
The publication also reported Houston-based meteorologist Matt Lanza agreeing to this and saying, 'folks from Florida and the Bahamas up the East Coast into Atlantic Canada and Bermuda should still be monitoring this system.'
