Tropical wave moving slowly to Texas and Louisiana

ORLANDO, Fla. — Channel 9 meteorologists are watching several tropical waves moving through the Atlantic Basin.

Our next tropical system is likely to develop in the Gulf of Mexico over the next few days.

Invest 91-L is seeing increased convection this morning and will likely continue to develop as it lifts north further into the Gulf of Mexico.

It has a 90% chance of developing over the next seven days.

This could bring impacts to the Texas and Louisiana coastlines later this week.

A hurricane hunter will investigate 91-L later today. The next storm’s name is Francine.

In addition, Channel 9 is monitoring two areas in the Atlantic that have a 60% and 50% chance of developing over the next seven days.

Both areas won’t move much over the next 48 hours, but it will eventually start moving slowly westward early next week.
