~Invest #94L moving off the Yucatan and into Bay of Campeche bringing scattered showers to the region. NHC with 50% chance can earn Tropical Depression status before moving into Mexico by Monday.
~Another area South of Mexico with low 30% chance.

NOAA and USAF Hurricane Hunters setting up in Caribbean to monitor #Beryl. At least 2 NOAA aircraft and 3 USAF. Will start air recon missions starting Sunday. First flight scheduled to depart 445aEDT/AST. In storm data collection can increase hurricane forecast accuracy by as much as 20% (per USAF 403rd Wing). 29Jun2024
11aEDT/AST Sat 29Jun2024:
TS #Beryl winds 65mph(100km/h)
Continues to strengthen
NHC has Cat3 115mph(185km/h) into Windward Islands early Monday
High waves
Surge 5-7ft(1.5-2.1m) onshore wind direction
3-6+in(75-150+mm) rain
Wind shear starts to weaken once in central Caribbean Sea
Area near Cabo Verde Islands off NW Africa now 40% chance tropical designation per NHC. May develop next week as generally follows #TD2.
28Jun2024 8pEDT
invest #94L with numerous scattered storms as the sun sets Friday evening. Will cross the Yucatan peninsula Saturday. NHC with 40% chance tropical designation when enters Bay of Campeche Sunday. Main impact is currently heavy scattered rain chances into the region.

NHC will begin advisories on Tropical Depression Two #TD2 at 5pEDT/AST 28Jun2024 about 1350miles(2175km) East of the Windward Islands.
Likely misaligned / elongated center keeping #95L from designation currently (notice puffy clouds on top slightly different spin then thinner lower level clouds). Steadily coming together though. Should have depression or named storm soon. Watches for portions of Windward islands may be issued tonight or Saturday. 145pEDT/AST 28Jun2024
Sunrise over invest #95L Friday 28Jun2024
Located about 1500miles(2414km) ESE of Windward Islands.
Moving West about 15-20mph(24-32km/h)
Continues to improve it's structure.

NHC monitoring two regions for this weekend into early next week.
Invest #94L near ABC islands / Venezuela looked more robust today, not so much this evening.
Area near West Africa some models want to develop before reaching Caribbean next week. Dry SAL riding just North of it though.

Air recon finds #92L center 120miles E of JacksonvilleFL, 35mph winds(Tropical Depression level). However, showers/storms are still doing their own thing ignoring the nearby Low pressure. NHC wants a little more cohesion before upgrading. These borderline systems, especially sloppy tilted ones, are usually at the discretion of the forecasters on duty. 21Jun2024 11aEDT #FLwx #GAwx #SCwx #NCwx
USAF have taken off from Biloxi, MS on their way to see if invest #92L has become better organized. Do we have a Tropical Depression (TD) or low end Tropical Storm (TS) this morning? Going to be close. Don't be alarmed if upgraded today, impacts really the same. 21Jun2024 630aEDT
Still watching for potential Alberto repeat in Bay of Campeche this weekend - next week. NHC with 60% tropical development chance.
Invest #92L off SE US trying as nears warmer Gulf Stream water current. Earlier air recon showed disorganized center. NHC 50% chance tropical designation before moving inland. Wouldn't take too much more to reach Depression (TD) status which would require NHC to release their full suite of products (cone map, TS Watch(maybe), etc.).
