Thursday Noon Tropical Update: Active spots to watch in busy tropics
SUMMARY: We are monitoring two tropical areas: Invest 94 in the Caribbean Sea and Invest 95 in the Eastern Tropical Atlantic. Invest 94 is projected to move towards the Yucatan Peninsula, then into the southwestern Gulf, and finally into Eastern Mexico by late weekend, posing no threat locally. Invest 95, situated far out in the Atlantic, may develop into a named tropical system as it approaches the Lesser Antilles early next week. Locally, no tropical concerns are expected. The 7-day forecast predicts hot and humid conditions with temperatures in the 90s and daily showers and storms.
No tropical threats are expected through the Fourth of July. WWL Louisiana meteorologist Alexa Trischler with an ‘Eye on the Tropics' on Thursday, June 27, 2024.
Invest 94 in the western Caribbean Sea has a low chance for development as it moves toward the Yucatan Peninsula through Friday. It could reach the Bay of Campeche in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico on Saturday, but models maintain it will remain well to the south of the U.S. Gulf Coast and development chances aren't very strong. Still, heavy rain is expected in parts of Central America and Mexico through this weekend.
SUMMARY: An excessive heat warning is in effect for hot pink shaded areas, with “feels like” temperatures up to 114°F. High temperatures of around 93°F are expected, feeling like 110°F due to high humidity. A chance of scattered rain exists, but temperatures may rise due to potentially scarcer rain. The first hurricane of the season, Barrel, has formed in the Atlantic and may become a category three hurricane. It's expected to reach the Caribbean Sea later in the week. Another potential system, Chris, could follow. No immediate impacts are anticipated for the Gulf Coast, but high temperatures and a few daily storms are expected through the 4th of July.
Meteorologist Alexandra Cranford has the forecast at 10 p.m. on Saturday, June 29, 2024.

SUMMARY: Biden is back on the campaign trail after facing criticism from fellow Democrats for his debate performance Thursday night. Some supporters called him out for not fact-checking false statements made by former President Donald Trump and for making falsehoods of his own. Despite calls from some supporters for him to drop out of the race, Biden remains defiant, stating he knows how to do the job and overcome setbacks. The Biden team insists there are no discussions at the White House or within the campaign about him bowing out.
