Invest 90-L has a very good 80 percent chance of developing this week and will likely become our next named storm.

The next storm name on the list is Kirk.

Regardless of development, Invest 90-L will most likely stay out over the Atlantic.

Closer to home, we’ll be monitoring the western Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico.

Metrologist Kassandra Crimi said she doesn’t expect much in the short term, but by the middle of next week, we could see another tropical system develop (50% chance).

Cuba, Mexico, and states along the U.S. Gulf Coast will all be monitoring this potential breeding ground very closely.
