The chances of invest 93L—a disturbance over the Gulf Coast with the potential to become Tropical Storm Dexter—developing into a cyclone have fallen, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).

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.

Invest 93L may have fizzled out, but the history of Texas storms suggests August could be the 'real' start of the season.

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

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.

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

"Heavy rain is already moving through Louisiana and will continue over the next few days," AccuWeather's Alex DaSilva said.

TAMPA, Fla. — The National Hurricane Center and the 10 Tampa Bay weather team continue to monitor a system in the Gulf that is no longer a threat to the Tampa Bay area but will continue to bring heavy rain and the potential for flash flooding to parts of the northern Gulf Coast.

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

A disturbance dubbed Invest 93L could become Tropical Storm Dexter as it tracks west from Florida toward Louisiana.
