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

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.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring Invest 93L off Florida. Chances for development stand at 40% over the next 48 hours.

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

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

Invest 93L is taking its time moving across Florida, and it could still become a tropical depression later this week.
