The next Tropical system to watch is 98L, and much uncertainty is in store for its future track because of the upper air dynamics associated with a fall like weather pattern across the NH and troughs starting to dig deeper in the United States.

The National Hurricane Center is giving this area of disturbed weather a 70% chance of formation.
98L is now Tropical Storm Ophelia with winds of near 50 kts.
