Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 AM EDT Sat Aug 4 2018
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. A non-tropical low pressure system located about 700 miles west
of the Azores is producing gale-force wind gusts northeast of its
center. Although associated shower activity is currently limited,
the low could gradually acquire subtropical or tropical
characteristics over the next few days while it moves southwestward
over warmer water. Additional information on this low pressure area
can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather
Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.

Re: NATL: INVEST 97L
Very interesting place for something to develop and move to the SW. But I guess we will take something worth tracking wherever we can get it in this slow season.
Are any of the models picking up on guidance yet?

Re: ATL: INVEST 97L - Models
HWRF shows strong dry northerly shear from the ULL to the SE of it affect it over the next 48-72 hrs, then letting up as it starts moving back up to the north for a chance of better development by then.

Are any of the models picking up on guidance yet?
Yep, they show it recurving before 55W but if it misses that trough then Bermuda could see it.

Re: ATL: INVEST 97L - Discussion
Not much here in the short term, over warm waters but lots of northerly dry shear over it from the ULL close to it. Its heading is a good evidence of how strong ridging has been over Canadian Maritimes.

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
Shower activity associated with a non-tropical low pressure system
centered about 850 miles west-southwest of the Azores remains
limited. However, the low could gradually acquire subtropical or
tropical characteristics while it moves southwestward over the next
day or two, and then lifts back to the northeast and remains over
warm water through Tuesday. Additional information on this low
pressure area can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the
National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.

It's like the ATL became jealous of the EP activity & tried to produce something, but underperformed

For me, I find Invest 97L more interesting than the two EPAC invests. There is something really fascinating about watching a mid-latitude swirl slowly acquire organized deep convection. It's my favorite type of genesis. Many times it doesn't look like development will occur due to either shear, cool SSTs or dry air, but systems like this often find a way.
