Two Tropical Depressions Expected Near Bahamas Puerto Rico Amid Hurricane Gabrielle Threat

Meteorologists and the National Hurricane Center are closely monitoring two tropical disturbances, Invest 93L and Invest 94L, which have high chances of developing into tropical depressions this week. Invest 94L is expected to bring heavy rain and gusty winds to the northeastern Caribbean, including Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Dominican Republic, and is likely to develop near the Bahamas later this week. Invest 93L, located further east in the Atlantic, could organize and pose a threat to Bermuda, possibly as a hurricane, with a forecasted path north of the Leeward Islands. Hurricane Watches have also been issued for the Azores as Hurricane Gabrielle approaches, although Gabrielle is moving away from the U.S. coast. Forecasting the exact paths of these systems remains challenging due to atmospheric factors and potential storm interactions, but residents in the Caribbean, Bahamas, Bermuda, and U.S. Southeast coast should remain vigilant. The tropical systems underscore the active nature of the Atlantic hurricane season as it enters its final months, with warm ocean waters fueling storm development.
