Isaac Remnant May Spark New Tropical System in the Gulf of Mexico

September 6, 2012

A remnant piece of Hurricane Isaac has re-emerged into the Gulf of Mexico and has been dubbed Invest 90L by the National Hurricane Center. The system is currently disorganized but the NHC gives it a 40 percent chance of becoming a tropical cyclone. If a tropical storm were to form, it would be named Nadine, as the remnant was not from the main circulation of Isaac which moved into the Northeast.

The Hurricane Hunters are scheduled to fly into the system Friday afternoon, if necessary, to investigate the system.
