The Tropical Weather Outlook
The tropical wave in the W Caribbean has been designated Invested 93L. It is centered about a 155 mi. NW of us. It should move over land later today, cross the Yucatan Peninsula and emerge in the Gulf of Mexico. Once there, it has a medium to high chance of developing into a tropical cyclone in the next 5 days
TS Gabrielle is over Bermuda.
Humberto is now a Cat 1 hurricane. Maximum sustained winds are 75 mph and it is moving NNW at 8 mph. This morning, it was located at 16.0N x 28.9W or about 3800 miles E of us.
Interests here should monitor these systems as they continue to develop.
The SAL, has decreased slightly in density and area. See Figs. 9 and 9a.
