Summary

A broad area of low pressure in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico, designated Invest 92L and potentially named Tropical Storm Isaias, is reported to have developed with a high probability of becoming a tropical depression or storm. The National Hurricane Center initially gave it an 80-90% chance of formation within 48 hours to two days. Reports indicate the system is expected to drift eastward before turning north or northeast toward the northern Gulf Coast, with potential impacts forecast for Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida by the weekend. Some forecasts suggest a 57% chance of it reaching at least Category 1 hurricane strength with winds exceeding 75 mph. Observed weather effects include spotty showers possible after midnight Saturday and heavy rainfall expected especially Saturday and the first half of Sunday. The system threatens U.S. energy facilities, with offshore areas in its path accounting for 15% of U.S. crude output and 5% of natural gas production, potentially affecting six refineries. Alabama Governor Kay Ivey has not confirmed the incident. No death or injury count is established.
