SUMMARY: The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is monitoring two tropical disturbances in the Atlantic basin, both with a low chance of development. Disturbance No. 1, Invest 90L, is causing substantial rain in the Tampa Bay area and could develop as it moves northeastward along the southeastern U.S. coast but has only a 20% chance of forming in the next seven days. Disturbance No. 2, a low-pressure area in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico, has a more favorable environment for development and could become a tropical depression by next week, with a 40% chance of forming, but it will not affect Florida.
