Confidence Increasing that Invest 96 Could Develop and Move into Caribbean This Weekend

WUFT

Invest 96 has a medium chance of developing into a tropical storm by the weekend, and long range forecast models are beginning to hint at a potential threat to portions of the Caribbean and maybe even the U.S. early next week. Specifics in a forecast track or strength of Invest 96 is premature at this point, but it should be noted that this particular disturbance is more likely to take a different path than many of its predecessors, possibly yielding a different result. Floridians are encouraged to stay informed on the latest developments with Invest 96 over the coming days.
