Invest 97 is gaining good banding features and advisories might be issued on this system at any time. It appears that the system will miss or just skirt the Yucatan which will keep it over water. The models are still quite consistent with a track near the Panhandle of Florida. Heavy rain on the outer bands could affect a good part of Florida and increase the rain chances.
Some wind shear is expected to affect the system in the Gulf so that might help to control the development. Interests in the northern Gulf are advised to keep posted on the progress of what will soon be Karen.
