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.

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

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

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

A disturbance near Florida could evolve into a tropical depression or Tropical Storm Dexter this week, according to forecasters.

The National Hurricane Center once again dropped the likelihood of formation for the tropical system hovering just offshore of Mississippi to 30% in the next two to seven days.

The National Weather Service in Mobile will also be closely watching the system and expects the risk for rip currents along the Alabama and northwest Florida coasts to increase to moderate by Wednesday and high by Thursday, which means swimming in the Gulf will be hazardous.

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

The system is threatening to bring heavy rain and the risk of flash floods to the northeastern and central Gulf Coast this week, and could become a tropical depression within days.
