Tropical Weather Forecast - Watching Lorena and Invest 91L

In the tropics, Lorena in the eastern Pacific Ocean has weakened today to a tropical storm near the Baja California Peninsula. It's starting to spread clouds and some heavy downpours into an area from Tucson, AZ to El Paso. This system will not have a big, direct impact on Houston, but will probably play a role in increasing our chance for showers and storms on Sunday. A tropical wave in the eastern Atlantic, now Invest 91L, has a high chance for development over the next week. It is still expected to become Tropical Storm Gabrielle in a few days, but it's very far away and not a threat to Texas at this time. It could become a threat to the Lesser Antilles by the middle of next week.
