Invest 93L Brings Heavy Rain Threat to Gulf Coast

Invest 93L, a tropical disturbance, has moved over Florida and is expected to enter the northeastern Gulf of Mexico by Wednesday, where it has a 40% chance of developing into a tropical depression or low-end tropical storm named Dexter. Environmental conditions could favor some development, especially if the system spends more time over warm Gulf waters. The primary threat is now heavy rainfall for the northern Gulf Coast, including Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and parts of Florida, with 3-6 inches of rain likely and isolated totals near 10 inches from Wednesday through the weekend. Residents in these areas are advised to prepare for significant rain, localized flooding, and continued summer heat and humidity. This system could become the fourth named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, which is expected to be above average in activity. Authorities and the National Hurricane Center continue to monitor the situation and urge people to stay updated.
