HOUSTON COUNTY, Ala. (WDNews) — The National Hurricane Center’s July 21 update shows reduced concern for Invest 94 in the Central Tropical Atlantic, as dry air has weakened the system and strong wind shear is expected to hinder development further.
At 2:00 p.m. EDT, forecasters said satellite wind data indicated that the weak low-pressure area had become less organized. While it’s still producing scattered showers and thunderstorms, conditions are no longer favorable for significant development.
The system is moving westward at around 15 mph. The NHC now gives it only a 10% chance of development over the next 48 hours and through the next seven days.
Forecasters say wind shear in the Caribbean could further disrupt the system if it survives that long.
This will be one to monitor, but for now, Invest 94 appears unlikely to pose a threat.
