Meteorologists are closely monitoring two weather systems currently designated as invests during the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season. Invest 95L, located east-northeast of Bermuda, has a 40 percent chance of strengthening over the next two days before likely encountering hostile conditions that could end its development. Meanwhile, Invest 96L in the eastern tropical Atlantic has a higher probability with a 70 percent chance of becoming a tropical depression or storm within the same timeframe. Experts note that while these systems show potential for development, environmental factors like dry air and wind shear have made hurricane formation challenging this season. The National Hurricane Center continues to update forecasts as more data becomes available on these evolving weather patterns.
Key Points:
- Invests are areas of interest designated by forecasters when collecting specialized data and running model guidance on potential tropical systems.
- Invest 95L has a 40 percent chance of strengthening over the next two days before encountering hostile conditions that could end its development.
- Invest 96L has a 70 percent chance of becoming a tropical depression or storm within the next two days as it moves across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic.
