Hurricane Season Update: New Area to Watch in the Atlantic
FOX Weather Hurricane Specialist Bryan Norcross reports that a new area to watch is “creeping along” as it moves slowly across the Main Development Region in the Atlantic. This system, designated as Invest 91L by the National Hurricane Center, is producing more thunderstorms, but there is no sign yet of significant organization. The National Hurricane Center is giving it a high chance of development before it reaches the vicinity of the Caribbean Islands around the middle of next week.
Invest 91L: A System to Watch
The system is crawling in the general direction of the Caribbean Islands, and the National Hurricane Center is drawing a large potential development area due to the uncertainty of when the system will pull itself together. Most of the computer forecast models predict that it will develop a circulation and become at least a tropical depression. However, the models are all over the place on how strong the system will get over the next week.

Pacific Hurricanes: Lorena and Kiko
Hurricane Lorena is moving over cool waters on its way to landfall on the Baja California Sur peninsula, which is forecast to happen tomorrow. It will likely make landfall as a much weaker storm, but flooding rain is likely to accompany the system. The flood threat will expand north into the southwestern U.S., and residents in southern Arizona and New Mexico should stay aware of local forecasts.

Hurricane Kiko is a small but powerful Category 4 storm, heading in the general direction of the Hawaiian Islands. The ocean temperature drops off significantly between the storm and the islands, so the system is expected to be weaker when it is in the general vicinity of the Big Island about next Tuesday. Everybody in Hawaii, especially on the Big Island, should plan to stay informed as the storm moves closer over the weekend.
