A disorganized low-pressure area off Florida is showing increasing chances of becoming a tropical depression or tropical storm this week.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) and the FOX 35 Storm Team are tracking an area of low pressure sitting near the panhandle of Florida: Invest 93L. With plenty of fuel to feed the disturbance, Invest 93L has the potential to become a tropical depression by the end of this week.

Southeast Texas residents should prepare for possible flash flooding and heavy rainfall as a weak tropical system moves in this weekend.

The National Hurricane Center said July 16 it is continuing to monitor an area of low pressure moving across Florida toward the Gulf.

By the weekend, the system will move farther away from us and closer to the northern Gulf Coast or Texas. As it organizes and consolidates moisture around its circulation, some drier air may build over the Suncoast. This should help reduce our rain chances somewhat by the weekend.

Acadiana will likely get its heaviest rain Friday into Saturday as the system lifts north and out of the area, the speed of the system will be important here and any signs of stalling would spike the chance of flooding.

South Florida could see some street flooding Monday and Tuesday, thanks to a potential tropical system brewing near the north end of the state. The Miami office of the National Weather Service called for a flood watch - when there's a chance of flooding but it's not yet happening - for Monday afternoon and Tuesday in urban southeast Florida.

South Florida will see a soggy start to its week due to a potential tropical system that is forecast to form in the Gulf and then move across Florida, the National Weather Service said Sunday.
