MIAMI, Aug. 26 (UPI) -- The tropical wave identified as 'Invest 99L' struggled to develop into an organized storm Friday as forecasters predict it could avoid a direct hit of Florida.
U.S. Air Force Hurricane Hunters found tropical-storm force winds on Thursday but as circulation has not fully closed, it has not been classified as a tropical depression or tropical storm. The speed of the winds dropped down below tropical storm force later in the day.
