8/26: An area of low pressure (#93L) remains in the Yucatán Channel this afternoon. If organization trends continue, Advisories could be initiated later this afternoon or evening.

Closer to home, drier air will keep rain chances low today outside of a few pesky showers. https://t.co/whYaT1nHhC

The sun rises over Invest #93L near the Yucatán Peninsula. There is now a high chance (70%) this system will strengthen into a tropical depression within the next couple of days. #Invest93L #weather #WX

Invest #93L is expected to become a tropical depression or storm late this weekend into early next week, as conditions seem conductive for further development of this system. GWES Forecasting will be closely monitoring this one!

Invest #93L has been designated… but what is an “Invest” anyway, and what does the 93L bit mean?

An Invest is an area of disturbed weather that is under investigation (hence the name “invest”) for its potential to develop into a tropical cyclone.

Invests are always numbered beginning with a 9 and then another digit, so the numbers 90 through 99. Once 99 has been reached, the numbering starts again at 90.

The “L” in 93L means the system is in the North Atlantic basin.
