As of September 23rd, at 11:00am (CST), the National Hurricane Center is tracking Invest 97L which currently has an 80% chance of further development over the next few days. This system is expected to become a CAT 1 hurricane by 8:00am Wednesday and continue to strengthen as it travels over the warm gulf waters. While right now the intensity and exact tract varies between the different models, most have it making landfall between the Florida Panhandle and the west coast of Florida as a major hurricane, as early as Thursday, September 26th. Either way, our area is expected to see increased winds and storm conditions later this week.
