Invest 99L remains on track to become Tropical Storm Sara

Invest 99L remains on track to develop into a tropical depression, and Florida residents are now keeping an eye on the system, which forecasters say will likely develop into Tropical Storm Sara.

The NHC gives the system an almost certain chance that it will develop within a few days. Computer forecast models show the system hanging out in the western Caribbean, where it will benefit from the warm waters and low wind shear.

The FOX Forecast Center said these conditions could cause Future Sara to become a hurricane — possibly a strong one.

Bryan Norcross: Florida watches for Tropical Storm Sara

FOX weather hurricane specialist Bryan Norcross said the atmospheric pattern over the Caribbean appears extremely conducive for Sara to further organize and strengthen.

The consensus of the computer forecasts is that a storm will develop near or off the coast of the Honduras-Nicaragua border on Friday or over the weekend. There is a good chance the storm will stall and become a hurricane early next week. Where does it go then?

“The fact that so many different computer forecasting models indicate a threat to Florida is concerning, but things can change,” Norcross said. “As always, when a system is just developing, prediction errors are likely to be large.”

Tropicana Field’s repair costs could reach $55 million after damage from Hurricane Milton

According to reports, the cost of repairing damage caused by Hurricane Milton to Tropicana Field in Florida could reach $55 million. Large portions of the fiberglass roof of the Tampa Bay Rays’ home were torn apart as the hurricane hit the facility at 120 miles per hour.

The St. Petersburg City Council has already voted to spend more than $6 million to storm-proof Tropicana Field to prevent further damage from future storms. It remains unclear whether the city is willing to spend millions on a stadium that will be demolished within a few years.

Watch: The 200-year-old Pennsylvania Bridge reemerges from the lake during drought

A historic bridge built over 200 years ago in the southwest Pennsylvania has been closed to the public after officials said they cannot guarantee the structure’s stability.

The Great Crossings Bridge, originally built in honor of President George Washington, usually lies about 50 feet underwater in the Youghiogheny River Lake, but was exposed by a significant drought in the early fall.
