A disturbance dubbed Invest 93L could become Tropical Storm Dexter as it tracks west from Florida toward Louisiana, forecasters say.
Tonight, isolated rainfall is possible. Low temperatures in the 70s, mostly cloudy skies and light southwesterly winds.
Forecasters are warning of early signs of a potential tropical cyclone developing along the northeastern Gulf of Mexico. A low-pressure system that could bring storms to Florida before moving west has a medium chance of developing into a tropical cyclone over the next several days, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).
The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a low-pressure system off the eastern coast of Florida Monday that has potential to develop into a stronger storm.
The area of low pressure located off the east coast of Florida is now Invest 93-L, according to the National Hurricane Center. The disturbance is forecast to move westward across Florida during the next day or so, and into the northeastern Gulf by late Tuesday.
The hatched areas on the National Hurricane Center's tropical outlook map indicate "areas where a tropical cyclone — which could be a tropical depression, tropical storm or hurricane — could develop," said National Hurricane Center Deputy Director Jamie Rhome.
NHC is tracking a disturbance off Florida. Get ready for a very wet week, with a potential for localized flooding and dangerous rip currents.
