NHC monitoring Invest 94-L, another disturbance near the United States

MIAMI — The National Hurricane Center is tracking three systems in the Atlantic basin as the remnants of Francine make their way farther north.

Elsewhere in the Atlantic basin, forecasters are tracking:

Tropical Depression Seven in the eastern Atlantic
Invest 94L near the northern Leeward Islands
Disturbance a few hundred miles off Florida and the southeastern U.S.

Invest 94L, east of the Leeward Islands

Satellite-derived wind data from several hours ago indicate thata small area of low pressure located less than one hundred miles east of the northern Leeward Islands has degenerated into a surface trough.

Environmental conditions, including the proximity of dry air, do not favor development of this system while it moveswest-northwestward at about 15 mph. Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds are possible across the northern Leeward Islands today.
