status of 99L, but after it moves into the Gulf it could strengthen. \u00a0 The map below shows that predictions of where it will go once it reaches the Gulf are all over the place, which is typical for a weak system, since the models aren&#8217;t able to get a good handle on the storm. \u00a0Because of the uncertainty in the path and development of the storm, it is too early to make any decisions about Labor Day plans, but if you have plans anywhere along the Gulf for the next week into Labor Day weekend, you will want to keep an eye on this system. \u00a0Also note that there are several other areas that the National Hurricane Center is watching for signs of development, including the next wave just coming off of Africa.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2016\/08\/99l-models-8-27-2016-pm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-8146\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2016\/08\/99l-models-8-27-2016-pm-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"99l models 8-27-2016 pm\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2016\/08\/99l-models-8-27-2016-pm-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2016\/08\/99l-models-8-27-2016-pm-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2016\/08\/99l-models-8-27-2016-pm-245x138.jpg 245w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2016\/08\/99l-models-8-27-2016-pm.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2016\/08\/hurr-5-day-8-27-2016-at-8-pm.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-8147\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2016\/08\/hurr-5-day-8-27-2016-at-8-pm-300x134.png\" alt=\"hurr 5 day 8-27-2016  at 8 pm\" width=\"300\" height=\"134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2016\/08\/hurr-5-day-8-27-2016-at-8-pm-300x134.png 300w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2016\/08\/hurr-5-day-8-27-2016-at-8-pm-308x138.png 308w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2016\/08\/hurr-5-day-8-27-2016-at-8-pm.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another day, another update on Investigation 99L. \u00a0Investigation 99L is still alive and moving to the WNW towards the Florida Straits and the Gulf of Mexico. \u00a0While it is still disorganized, it is moving into an area of very warm ocean temperatures and less wind shear, so chances of developing into a tropical depression have [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":58,"featured_media":8146,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8145","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tropical-weather"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8145","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/58"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8145"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8145\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8148,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8145\/revisions\/8148"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8146"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8145"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8145"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
