Is Hurricane Erin brewing in the Atlantic? Will it impact NJ? Here's how to track the tropical disturbance, see spaghetti models, path and more.

As of the latest advisory on Aug. 11, Invest 97L has a high chance — 90% — chance of strengthening in the next seven days.

The tropical wave that moved off Africa Friday has been designated Invest 97L, and it is on the cusp of becoming a tropical depression or named storm. The next name on the list is Erin.

The National Hurricane Center is predicting Invest 97L could become a tropical depression or tropical storm as early as later this morning, Aug. 11.

Invest 97L so far has a medium chance of developing into a named storm next week, National Hurricane Center forecasters said.

Invest 97L is now in the Atlantic joining Invest 96L and NHC forecasters said if development comes it'll be next week.

A system of low pressure moving west across the Atlantic has a high chance of become a tropical depression or storm this week.

The large disturbance over the eastern tropical Atlantic - officially tagged Invest 97L - is heading west in the general direction of the Caribbean. It has found a gap in the Saharan dust, so this one has the best chance of organizing into a tropical storm or hurricane of any system we've tracked this season.
