A disturbance called Invest 93L by the National Hurricane Center could turn into a tropical depression or the next named storm of hurricane season.
Development chances for Invest 93-L have slightly declined as the system continues moving westward across the Gulf Coast, producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms, according to the National Hurricane Center.
A sprawling tropical system churning toward the Gulf Coast threatens to bring significant rain and flash flooding this week to a large swath of the southeast, from the Florida panhandle to Louisiana and parts of eastern Texas.
The National Hurricane Center has highlighted an area it's watching in the Gulf. Right now, there's a low chance for development.
