TROPICAL UPDATE: This Tropical Storm Will Become A Hurricane...

In this tropical weather update, I'm getting quite concerned about Invest 97L, which will likely become our next significant tropical storm or hurricane in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Could 97L become a formidable major hurricane in 4-5 days? We'll discuss all of that in today's video.

Hello David. So glad to see you back on KZbin. I followed you years ago and missed you. You know your stuff and you helped us thru Irma and Ian in SW Florida! Keep up the good work.

[@WeatherForce2024]

What’s up I so recognize you how’s everything love seeing you here leaving nice comments 😊❤💓

[@bhavigpointi4035]

Hey David I feel concerned about you. Why didn’t you upload a video yesterday? No one is able to satisfy every single person in the weather community, and on KZbin, and that’s totally okay. It’s not a reason for you to quit. In fact, all the people who think that you’re “fear mongering” likely think that it’s impossible for the hurricane to get that strong. One day a hurricane will come and they will think you’re fear mongering and it becomes far stronger than what they expected. Just keep going, and you will build a dedicated audience for your channel.

[@WeatherForce2024]

I was at a funeral and so after waking up at 5am yesterday, working for 9 hours then going to a funeral 25 miles away, I was super tired last night but I'm back in full swing for the next 8+ days. Also yeah I feel like their jealous of me but belive me there sometimes is a reason to fear monger when 97L will be tranvering 30-32 C waters.

Thank you so much and again I love your profile picture the crazy face emoji. 🤪

[@gregd4633]

Hey David, from the information I’ve gathered the high pressure ridge isn’t as strong as previously anticipated. Therefore the track could shift slightly more eastward in the next few model runs. The Euro and German models have adjusted to the ridge, but the GFS hasn’t quite caught up yet. We’re having an emergency management meeting tomorrow morning in Savannah, this came up pretty quickly and it’s predicted that we could get the dirty side of the storm.

[@WeatherForce2024]

Yeah we'll see the system is in the beginnings of forming and the next 2 or 3 runs will be very telling where this will actually end up at.

[@davidleyt1060]

Hey David! The convective and rotation on the latest frames are starting to scare me, the LLC could consolidate faster than expected… Also the gfs is a lot more aggressive than I thought. Hopefully not, but a major hurricane is increasing being a possibility. But anyways nice to see u back david❤

[@WeatherForce2024]

Oh yeah i'm watching it unfold on the IR and getting -90 to -95C cloud tops.

[@janalaufer6965]

Oh my lord! Whoever gets that 35 foot storm surge ! It's gonna wipe some areas off the map. If something like that was to hit here (Not likely), near Indian Rocks Beach FL, it would take out most of Indian Rocks FL. Clearwater beach and St Pete Beach and would be destroyed. OY! I am praying already.

[@Wabby21]

I have a question that I cannot find an answer for anywhere if anyone might have some answers or theories on! Theoretically speaking, If you have a hurricane form in the gulf and heads towards western Florida and then another hurricane form in the main development region and heads directly towards eastern Florida and both hurricanes are set to hit at roughly the same time, what would happen? Would the Fujiwhara effect set in and cause both to almost just spin over and below Florida? Would it form into one over land? Would they bounce off each other and shift patterns? What would people in Florida experience while this was happening? THEORETICALLY WHAT WOULD HAPPEN!?!?

[@MsPeachesization]

@Wabby21 great theoretical question!
