Digest more
Invest 93L is currently a broad area of low pressure moving westward across the Florida Panhandle between Tallahassee and Panama City. It’s expected to bring between 1 to 2 inches of rain to the Panhandle through July 16.
A wet and rainy Florida could soon see even more precipitation in the coming days, according to the National Weather Service, which has warned the Gulf Coast will face a flood-generating system that could form into Tropical Storm Dexter.
The Florida Panhandle will see heavy rainfall from Invest 93L after it reaches the Gulf on Wednesday. The greatest threat to the area at the moment is flash flooding in low-lying, poor-drainage areas and urban locations. Invest 93L is currently expected to make landfall near Louisiana's southeastern coast Thursday morning.
There’s growing concern for another significant rain and flooding event this week, this time along the Gulf Coast, from what could become the Atlantic basin’s next tropical system.
Early Wednesday, the National Hurricane Center said Invest 93L was moving west across the Florida Panhandle between Tallahassee and Panama City.
A disturbance called Invest 93L by the National Hurricane Center could turn into a tropical depression or the next named storm of hurricane season.
