Invest 99-L is currently a tropical wave — an area of low pressure without a closed, counterclockwise surface circulation — located about 1,000 miles east of the Lesser Antilles. So far, 99-L has had to battle against dry air, similar to Fiona ahead of it. As of Sunday morning, some small thunderstorm clusters had begun to bubble up near the disturbance. CONTINUE
