An area of low pressure formed near the northwestern Caribbean Sea on Monday and the system has been designated as Invest 93L.\u00a0 At 8:00 p.m. EDT on Monday the center of Invest 93L was located at latitude 14.0\u00b0N and longitude 83.0\u00b0W which put it about 75 miles (120 km) south-southeast of Cabo Gracias a Dios.\u00a0 It was moving toward the north at 6 m.p.h. (9 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 35 m.p.h. (55 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 45 m.p.h. (75 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1006 mb.<\/p>\n
An area of low pressure formed in the southern portion of an area of showers and thunderstorms that has persisted over the western Caribbean Sea for several days.\u00a0 The circulation of Invest 93L is not well organized.\u00a0 There is no well organized center of circulation nor are there well organized rainbands.\u00a0 Most of the showers and thunderstorms are occurring in the northern portion of the circulation.\u00a0 There are not many showers or thunderstorms in the southern half of the circulation.\u00a0 Much of the western half of the circulation is over Nicaragua and Honduras.<\/p>\n
Invest 93L will move through an environment mostly favorable for the development of a tropical cyclone during the next few days.\u00a0 It will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperature is near 30\u00b0C.\u00a0 Invest 93L is near the axis of an upper level ridge.\u00a0 So, the upper level winds are weak over the system.\u00a0 There are stronger winds farther north over the northern Caribbean Sea.\u00a0 Invest 93L will be slow to develop as long as almost half of the circulation is over land.\u00a0 Development will be more likely when the center moves farther away from land.<\/p>\n
Invest 93L is just west of the axis of the ridge, which is steering the system slowly toward the north.\u00a0 That general motion is forecast to continue for several more days.\u00a0 On its anticipated track Invest 93L will move over the northwestern Caribbean Sea later this week.\u00a0 Invest 93L will drop locally heavy rain over Nicaragua and Honduras and it could cause flash floods in some areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
