It may be mid-October, but there is still plenty to watch in the tropics.
Invest 94L currently has a high chance of forming in the Atlantic over the next week. The National Hurricane Center says that a tropical depression is expected to form in the next few days as the area of showers and thunderstorms becomes more organized.
In the Eastern Pacific, forecasters are watching Invest 90E and an area off the coast of southern Mexico and Central America.
Invest 90E, located a few hundred miles offshore of the southwestern coast of Mexico, could soon form into a tropical depression. As the system continues to strengthen, it will be named Norma and is expected to track near Cabo San Lucas, then eventually move into northern Mexico and bring moisture to the Southwest and Texas.
The other area the NHC is watching is a low-pressure system expected to form south of the Guatemala coast over the next few days. The system is expected to form into a tropical depression over the weekend as the system meanders over the far eastern Pacific basin.
A fall chill has resulted in more than 200 million Americans feeling below-average temperatures, with a good portion of the South and Southeast feeling the coolest air since spring.
The FOX Forecast Center says morning low temperatures will dip into the 40s from the Plains to the East Coast through midweek.
