Invest 93L is expected to move onshore in Louisiana later today. Will it be a depression? Tropical Storm Dexter?

Hurricane center forecasters said the system, designated as Invest 93L, is forecast to continue moving westward and could emerge or redevelop.

There's a chance the storm could form within the next 48 hours. Even if it doesn't, Florida is expecting heavy rain.

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.

Regardless of development, heavy rainfall is expected over portions of Florida, which could bring localized flash flooding through mid-week.

Invest 93L is taking its time moving across Florida, and it could still become a tropical depression later this week.

A disturbance called Invest 93L by the National Hurricane Center could turn into a tropical depression or the next named storm of hurricane season.

WPBF 25 First Warning meteorologists are monitoring Invest 93-L for tropical development near Florida. The disturbance has a 20% chance of development over the next two days and a 30% chance of development over the next seven days.
