Alex Impacts?

Run Down:

Invest 91L which is partially fueling from the remnants of Hurricane Agatha which recently made landfall in Southern Mexico as a Category 2 Hurricane with 105mph winds. Invest 91L is becoming more and more likely to take the first name of Alex in the 2022 Atlantic Hurricane season. Invest 91L or "Alex" is likely to make landfall in southern Florida as a high grade tropical depression or low grade tropical storm. Invest 91L is unlikely to become a Hurricane due to high wind shear. The winds won't be a big issue for Florida, however rainfall for Southern Florida may cause flooding with a widespread 5-8 inches. Localized higher rainfall is certainly possible.

In Terms of Connecticut:

Invest 91L will not have any affect on Connecticut in terms of weather or even currents in the Sound. The Track is too far away for invest 91L or "Alex" to have any impact on CT. "Alex" will make a trek through Southern Florida towards the middle of the Atlantic. Although "Alex" may strengthen after passing through Florida there will still be no effects in terms of CT.
