Invest 93 became Tropical Storm Harvey and is currently giving us a little bit of rain and giving Central America copious amounts of rain. It passed a few hundred miles south of us.
Now invest 97 is taking aim at the Caribbean, but will likely turn north to my friends in Turks & Caicos and the Bahamas. However, it is still far out in the Atlantic and anything is possible.
There is a 3rd system, Invest 98 that just left the African coast. That one will also need to be monitored, although initial computer models seem to all agree it will take a northern route.
It’s called Invest 97. It probably means it’s the 97th system of the season that’s worth “investigation”.
The meteorologists must be quite busy in this time of year…
