Area of Concern - Hurricane Sandy
|
Invest 99L is an active tropical wave in the central Caribbean Sea. At 20/12Z the system was located at 14.6N 72.8W with pressure at 1008MB and a westerly movement at 10 knots. The system is still poorly organized although some slow development is possible. On the plus side, SSTs are at 29.5C, but the primary factor against the system is increasingly significant westerly windshear over the Greater Antilles.
