We are watching invest area 96L far out in the tropical Atlantic - just off the coast of Africa - for possible development. The environment is decent overall and most of the model guidance suggests further development as the tropical wave and associated weak surface low move westward with time.
The main limiting factors will be dry air surrounding the parent tropical wave and stronger upper level winds. It's early in the process and too soon to have any reasonable guess as to where this feature may end up but it is hurricane season and as such, we will definitely need to monitor.
