Dolly Could Form: Atlantic Storm Watch Continues

The Atlantic is showing signs of increased tropical activity as Invest 95L, a system near Bermuda, has the potential to develop into a tropical depression or storm within the next couple of days. This system is forecast to move northward, well northeast of Bermuda. Separately, a tropical wave is expected to move off the coast of Africa on August 24, with a possibility of forming into a tropical depression by midweek. Environmental conditions are marginally favorable for this development.

Forecasters are actively tracking multiple tropical waves, including two in the Caribbean. While it remains uncertain if these developing systems will impact Florida or the United States, residents are urged to maintain preparedness. The mid-August to mid-October period marks the busiest phase of the Atlantic hurricane season, underscoring the importance of staying informed about weather advisories. The National Hurricane Center designates areas for monitoring as 'invests' when they show potential for development into tropical cyclones.
