Watcihing a Long Track in Mid-August

Posted: 11:25 AM 09 August 2025 | 1 Comment | Add Comment | Newest: 08:21 AM 10-Aug EDT

Invest 97L is a system in the far east Atlantic that just exited Africa, it's poised to a be a long track system. If it gets a name it'll be Erin. The 1995 version of Erin was the first hurricane to be covered by this website.

97L's long term future is uncertain, climatology and ensembles suggest it remains offshore, but odds are only slightly favorable for that outcome, not enough for comfort by any means. So it must be watched by those and the Caribbean and beyond for the trends. If the system becomes a depression it'll get advisories as well. Now that the system is an invest the more specific Hurricane models we begin to be ran on it.

Lots of time to watch where this goes.

More models and speculation can be found in the forecast lounge.
