Things get more interesting in the tropics! In the Atlantic Basin, Invest 97-L is a well-defined tropical wave near Hispaniola that the National Hurricane Center gives a high 70% chance of developing over the next week. It is now forecast to move over Cuba and then likely spread into the eastern Gulf of Mexico by this weekend. Exclusive GFS and Fox models will introduce this system to Florida's Big Bend by Sunday and Monday. So we could have another hurricane in the Gulf by this weekend. Currently, Houston is not in the danger zone. But check back regularly as we receive further forecast updates. As always, make sure you are always prepared for a hurricane by having your emergency equipment kit and knowing your evacuation routes!
