Invest 93L was moving westward across the Florida Panhandle between Tallahassee and Panama City, as of 7 a.m. Wednesday morning. The storm is expected to continue on its track in a westward motion until it makes landfall somewhere along Louisiana's eastern coast around 2 p.m. Thursday.

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

IT’S RIGHT IN THIS AREA HERE NEAR THE PANHANDLE. IT’S HEADED OVER THIS WAY TOWARD LOUISIANA AND MISSISSIPPI. AND IF IT DROPS JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE TO THE SOUTH OVER THE REALLY WARM WATER HERE IN THE NORTHERN GULF,

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

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

WPBF 25 First Warning meteorologists are monitoring Invest 93-L for tropical development near Florida. The disturbance has a 20% chance of development over the next two days and a 30% chance of development over the next seven days.

"Regardless of development, an increase in showers and thunderstorms can occur from the Carolinas into Florida and along parts of the Gulf coast which can lead to localized flooding. Rough surf and rip currents can also occur," according to AccuWeather.

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.
