Invest 97L forecast: Tropical disturbance to become better organized over Gulf of Mexico

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) said a tropical disturbance over Hispaniola, known as Invest 97L, is highly likely to develop further over the next seven days and possibly become a tropical depression as early as this weekend. It's still too early to tell exactly where this tropical wave will end up, whether it will become Tropical Storm Debby, and whether it will stay in the Gulf of Mexico or if it will make landfall over Florida – and where.

I think the coast of Florida should install thousands of huge fans that can change wind directions when necessary

I don't know this guy, I don't even live in Florida (I'm in TX), but this guy's personality and relatability is one of the best I've seen in all my years of existence. Fox hiring him was definitely a good hire in my eyes as an entrepreneur.

Ok. I'M IN the southern side of metro Atlanta. Just a thought on this young meteorologist, at least on this particular broadcast, I like how he very candidly makes it clear that he is not entirely sure on a lot of the actual details of this storm. It seems that a good bit of the meteorologist in my area nails down something as fact, and then it doesn't occur.

This can really mess up ones outdoor plans. Point being when your not absolutely certain, then say so.

Good job young fellow.

We can’t take another Ian . Praying it won’t be too developed. We all just recovered from a couple years ago.

I’m in Tampa. I’m not in the mood, thanks.

[Hartsgo]

Thanks for explaining in normal people language. I don’t speak meteorologist so this was very helpful

[ronnw]

You're a fun weather man! Keep up a good work I like your explanations.

[MerryBoozerRC]

This guy is 🔥 best weatherman I’ve ever seen. Sumpter county resident and I’m so happy I found you lol. You are now my go to weather man.

[matthewwoodward]

Noah! The best there is! So glad he’s in central Florida

[HaveNoFearRealityIsHere]

wait, I'm confused...so, does that mean the tropical depression DOES NOT appear to look like punk-dancers in the 80's (you know, during wwii) throwing their bodies against one another and onto the ground...

I am very impressed with this weather forecaster!!! He consistently provided numerous potentials very well. I will be back to follow Fox 35 reports.

[lenchenette]

I like the way this guy analyzes the weather. Accurate and informative without the hype!

[msheidiheidiho]

North Florida had a tropical storm Debby a few years back that left us flooded for months because it stalled.

[DestroyerTV]

Best weather man I've seen in a while!

Love your analogy about the disco ball. Not sure I get it, but that was great!

11:42 I live in Tampa, FL and I'm as prepared as can be. I bought bottled water, canned food, candles, batteries and brought the BBQ inside. I also taped the windows with duck tape.
