Digest more
The system, identified as Invest 93L, originally developed east of Florida before traversing the entire state and ending up over Louisiana and Mississippi.
We continue to follow the progress of Invest 93L, an area of low pressure that moved from the Atlantic across the northern Florida peninsula on Tuesday and is now scraping westward through the state’s panhandle along the northern Gulf Coast.
Flooding rain is expected along the Gulf Coast as Invest 93L tries to organize into a tropical depression or storm. Meanwhile, tragedy struck at a New Jersey archery range after a lightning strike killed one person and injured more than dozen others.
The National Hurricane Center is tracking three tropical waves, including two in the Caribbean. Tropical wave 1: A far eastern Atlantic tropical wave is near 30W from 17N southward, and moving west at 11 mph.
Invest 93L was still over land early Wednesday, but it's expected to bring the risk of heavy rainfall and flooding to Houston in the coming days.
The disorganized disturbance we've tracked across North Florida is now trying to reform in the northeastern Gulf. The National Hurricane Center officially tagged the system Invest 93L.
