Meteorologist Kassandra Crimi said what it will bring to Central Florida is still uncertain, but expects some tropical impacts to parts of Florida by mid-week, possibly on Wednesday.

Crimi said the area near the Yucatan is being monitored as the system slowly develops this weekend.

She said Invest 93-L could become a Tropical Depression by Sunday or Monday.

The disturbance will make its way into the Gulf of Mexico early in the week and continue to develop.

Where it goes and how strong it becomes remain to be seen.

Crimi said that the GFS model currently projects the storm will eventually move toward Florida’s Panhandle, while the Euro model has the storm heading toward Florida’s Big Bend area.

There’s plenty of time for these projections to change and Crimi said right now, we’re simply in a period of watching and waiting.

Channel 9 meteorologists are closely monitoring this area of disturbed weather.

Remember to restock your storm supplies while the weather is favorable.
