Storm models show South Florida threat
Don’t close the books on hurricane season yet.
The disturbed weather known as “Invest 93” in the southern Caribbean has a 20 percent to 50 percent chance of becoming a tropical cyclone, the National Hurricane Center warned today.
And if it does develop, it might well point north. Two computer models “foresee a possible threat to the Bahamas or South Florida late this week or early next week,” blogger Jeff Masters wrote at weatherunderground.com. “I give 93L a 40% chance of eventually becoming a hurricane.”
Upper-level winds are favorable for some development of the system, NHC forecasters said.
