Probably nothing but keep an eye on it
-
i see some favorable development for Invest 95L as it forms through the warm Gulf waters.
-
Little better organized. NHC has increased from 10 to 20%
-
60%
1. A SMALL WELL-DEFINED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LOCATED ABOUT 50 MILES
SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF MORGAN CITY LOUISIANA IS MOVING ONSHORE
TERREBONNE PARISH NEAR CAILLOU BAY. DOPPLER RADAR AND SATELLITE
DATA INDICATE THAT SUSTAINED WINDS NEAR TROPICAL-STORM-FORCE COULD
OCCUR ACROSS TERREBONNE PARISH...ESPECIALLY IN TERREBONNE
BAY...LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING AS THE SYSTEM MOVES
ONSHORE. THERE IS A HIGH CHANCE...60 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM
BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE BEFORE IT MOVES ONSHORE. THIS SYSTEM
WILL MOVE SLOWLY NORTHWESTWARD AFTER LANDFALL AND PRODUCE LOCALLY
HEAVY RAINFALL OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTH-CENTRAL AND SOUTHEASTERN
LOUISIANA. INTERESTS SHOULD MONITOR PRODUCTS ISSUED BY THEIR LOCAL
NATIONAL WEATHER FORECAST OFFICE FOR ADDITIONAL UPDATES AND ANY
WATCHES OR WARNINGS.

It looks like this area of disturbance won't be developing into anything after all. Here is the article from weather.com
Louisiana low now inland - no longer a threat

The small, but well organized low off the Louisiana has now moved inland. As long as the low remains over land it is not a threat to develop into a tropical depression or tropical storm. The system will continue to move northwest through Louisiana spreading showers and thunderstorms throughout the lower Mississippi Valley and along the Gulf coast and Florida.
An area of disturbed weather in the western Caribbean Sea could develop over the next few days. Currently the system lacks a closed area of low pressure at the surface so it remains a tropical wave and the thunderstorm activity is widespread and intense but disorganized. As it moves across the Yucatan, the temporary interaction with land will hinder development. However, atmospheric conditions are favorable for development. The whole area is moving toward the northwest at 15 mph and will eventually enter the southern Gulf of Mexico. Heavy rain from the disturbance is on the increase from Honduras to the Yucatan.
A tropical wave interacting with a trough of low pressure in the upper atmosphere is producing a wide area of showers and thunderstorms across the eastern Caribbean and the Windward Islands and out into the Atlantic. Overnight, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands will join in on this squally weather. Conditions are not favorable for development.
Elsewhere across the globe the tropics are quiet.

Yea its come ashore now. However it may have briefly been a TD at some point. Certainly more time over water and it would have for sure
-
Call me crazy, but what does the "95L" mean at the end?
-
The two numbers go from 90 to 99 and repeat for each invest throughout the world. I don't know why they chose those numbers alone, but that's how it's done. The last letter indicates what basin the invest is located. L stands for the Atlantic, E stands for the Eastern Pacific, and C stands for the Central Pacific. Hope that helps!

Ah, I see. Odd how they chose those numbers. I thought it had something to do with the coordinates of where the invest is located. Thanks for your help. :)
