Tracking Invest 97-L and a hot start to fall in your New Orleans weather forecast
Invest 97-L has been identified and will track towards the Gulf Coast through the week in your New Orleans weather forecast.For a more in depth look at Invest 97-L, click here.TROPICAL OUTLOOK:Invest 97-L has been identified off the coasts of Honduras and Nicaragua. The broad area of low pressure now has a high chance of development over the next 7 days, and a medium chance, 40% over the next two days.According to the initial forecast tracks, the storm is forecast to make lanfall over the Panhandle of Florida just east of New Orleans.This forecast is far from certain at this point, especially since the track will be highly influenced by a “cut off low”, a storm that removes itself from the jet stream flow and spins around freely on its own.Until we get much closer to Thursday, this cut off low can track any way it chooses. Foreasts are in agreement that when the tropical system moves on shore, it will merge with the cut off low. This means we need to monitor all the forecast data very closely throughout the week.LOCAL FORECAST:It’s a very warm start to fall! Moring temperatures will be in the 70s for everyone.There will be a slight chance of isolated downpours and/or thunderstorms Monday.Highs will be around 90 for many of us Monday.Tuesday will be just like Monday. Hot and humid with highs around 90 and a slight chance of isolate showers or thunderstorms.SEVEN DAY OUTLOOK:The next seven days are all about the tropics. If it is Helene that forms, it’s most likely to make landfall in the Panhandle of Florida right now. However, a cut off low will have a big influence on the track of the storm and still is uncertain on exctly where that feature will be by midweek. It will start off hot, but moderate as the tropical system makes landfall and meets up with the cut off low to end the week.Be safe and have good week!- Devon
