Wednesday 10 PM Tropical Update: Tracking Invest 94-L and Invest 95-L
SUMMARY: Two tropical areas are being monitored for development. Invest 94, a surface trough of low pressure, is not well-organized and expected to remain mostly overland. It has a low chance of development if it moves into the Bay of Campeche by the weekend but will stay away from our region due to an upper high. Invest 95, located in the central-eastern Atlantic, has a better chance of organization over the next several days. It's projected to reach the Caribbean by early next week and may continue across the region afterward. While far out, it is worth watching as conditions could change.
Chief Meteorologist Chris Franklin says Invest 94-L is a low pressure system with a low chance of developing. Invest 95-L could organize over the next several days.

Saturday, 10am Tropical Update: Tropical Storm Beryl could become first major hurricane
SUMMARY: Daily chances of stray showers or storms are expected Monday through Friday. Tropical systems are likely to move westward towards the Yucatan Peninsula, keeping them south of the Gulf Coast. The main concern is Tropical Storm Barrel, which has strengthened to 65 mph winds and is moving west at 23 mph. It could become a Category 3 hurricane by Monday, affecting the Lesser Antilles and moving west-northwest through the Caribbean. It might weaken by Wednesday due to stronger wind shear. No tropical threats are expected for the Gulf Coast this week, but pay attention to updates on Barrel. The 7-day forecast includes hot, humid conditions with scattered daily showers and storms.
Meteorologist Alexa Trischler says impacts from Beryl will spread across the Lesser Antilles late Sunday into Monday.
SUMMARY: The article, penned by Jim Beam, reflects on the 90-minute debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Voters are questioning if these are the only presidential options for 2024. Biden, criticized for his halting performance and age, attempted to counter Trump's false claims. CNN noted that Biden failed to allay voters' concerns, while Trump perpetuated election fraud myths and criticized Biden's presidency. NPR highlighted that the debate may not significantly influence the election outcome. Despite speculation, Biden affirmed his intention to continue campaigning. The article concludes that Biden and Trump remain the primary candidates for now.
