Invest 94-L: Tracking a disturbance in the Atlantic
As of now, the system does not appear to be a threat to Florida, so there’s no need to panic. There is plenty of time to monitor the system and lots of unknowns.

Right now, the system is embedded in an unfavorable environment and any development in the next few days is not expected.
