An update on the 3 systems in the tropics and the Long Island forecast:

- Tropical Storm Bill, which is off the east coast of the United States has maximum sustained winds of 50 mph and is quickly heading out into the Atlantic.

- Invest 94L, which is the tropical wave off the coast of Africa, has only a 20% chance of tropical development, and is not a long-term threat to the Caribbean islands.

- Invest 92L, which may become Tropical Storm Claudette by this weekend, is set to produce prolific rain and flooding in southern Louisiana and Mississippi with as much as 10 to 15 inches or more of rain (see 4th image) and tropical storm-force winds (see 5th image).

- As for Long Island, the forecast is below, and regarding early next week and the remnants of Invest 92L (potential Tropical Storm Claudette), a cold front for Tuesday may bring us some showers and keep the storm far enough to our southeast to not have any real impacts. Gusts as high as hurricane-force may occur well offshore (see 5th image).
