Last advisory issued on Ida, watching Invest 98L

Posted by Jim Weber under Daily updates

Ida has now been downgraded to a Tropical Depression with winds of 35mph. The strong southerly shear has moved all the convect well north of the center of the storm and the center is completely void of any showers.

The rain is now moving through Georgia up to Kentucky and West Virginia. There is also a large band of rain still in the Gulf of Mexico which will be moving towards the east and over Florida Tuesday afternoon. Breezy conditions will continue as the now low pressure moves towards the east with a developing cold front moving through and bringing some drier and slightly cooler air by the end of the week.

The last advisory puts the center about 25 miles WNW of Pensacola, Florida and moving towards the NE at 9mph.

It will continue to move towards the east with breezy conditions as all the moisture moves across Florida and clears by the end of the week.

Further out into the Atlantic we are watching one area associated with a trough of low pressure. This has been designated as Invest 98L. At this point development of this system looks unlikely and if it were to develop it would move towards the north and not affect any land.
