Invest 94L is doing a splendid job of pulling it together. With the recent experiences of Humberto and other unusually rapidly developing near-shore systems this season, all interests along the western Gulf Coast should be paying very close attention. IMHO, an upgrade to 94L is highly probable later today or tonight.

Some at TWC are already on record calling for the probable upgrade of 94L as early as later this afternoon, and that is not at all hyperbolic. Farther out, 96L is almost "there," and 97L is just about get over that hump which is northeastern South America. Of all three of these systems, 94L has the most imminent threat for tropical cyclogenesis (if it's hasn't done so already), and potentially an even more imminent threat to a portion of the U.S. that does-not-need-more-rain, as it is.
