Good morning everyone, after days of watching Invest 97L spin across the Atlantic Ocean and into the Caribbean Sea, the tropical wave has finally gained all attributes of a tropical storm and thus has been designated Tropical Storm Earl. Tropical Storm Earl is expected to continue on a general west to west-northwestward track and should make landfall as a strong tropical storm or category 1 hurricane in Belize or the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico on Wednesday Night, Earl will either then re-emerge into the Bay of Campeche and make a 2nd landfall in southern Mexico, or will continue into Mexico without returning into the Bay of Campeche. Far south Texas may see a little bit of moisture and rain from Earl, but no direct landfall or damage is expected within the USA from this Tropical Storm! Projected path below:
