Update on newly-designated Invest 95L (potential tropical storm or hurricane Odette):

- The tropical wave that is now off the coast of Africa has been designated Invest 95L, and it will likely become Tropical Storm Odette in a few days and then potentially a hurricane. However, by this weekend, the storm will encounter stronger wind shear and some drier air that should induce some weakening (see 3rd image).
