Tropical development chances remain low for area to watch as Rafael's leftovers churn over Gulf of Mexico
The NHC is tracking an area to watch in the southwest Caribbean, but it has a low chance of development. Some slow development is possible as the area of low pressure drifts west.
Invest 98L falls apart in the Atlantic
Chances of development for Invest 98L in the Atlantic are dropping away on Sunday, according to the National Hurricane Center. The area to watch could bring rain to South Florida but is unlikely to develop.
There may only be a few weeks left of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, but the basin remains active as forecasters continue to monitor any new development in the last leg of the season.
Rafael has been lingering in the Gulf since it made landfall in Cuba last week, but it doesn’t pose a direct threat to the U.S. and will be a distant memory by the start of the new workweek. The National Hurricane Center issued its last advisory on this system Sunday after Rafael became a post-tropical cyclone.
And to the east of Rafael in the Atlantic Ocean, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) was tracking a tropical disturbance that was designated Invest 98L over the weekend. However, its chances of survival were quite dim.
Now there is just one area to watch in the southwestern Caribbean.
