Invest 93L is expected to move onshore in Louisiana later today. Will it be a depression? Tropical Storm Dexter?

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

A disturbance near Florida could evolve into a tropical depression or Tropical Storm Dexter this week, according to forecasters.

The system’s slow passage over Florida has meant days of rain throughout the state, leading to street flooding in South Florida. However, the Miami office of the National Weather Service expects the rain to slow down, alleviating any concerns about deep flooding.

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

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,

Unlike Monday, which was a deluge for South Florida, today’s tropical-system-related rain is expected to be more concentrated in the center of the state. The Miami office of the National Weather Service predicts South Florida could see around 1 inch of rain on Tuesday and Wednesday, not enough for any severe flooding.

The summer of flooding and irritant-level tropical threats rolls with this week’s focus on a disorganized disturbance in the northern Gulf.

Tonight, isolated rainfall is possible. Low temperatures in the 70s, mostly cloudy skies and light southwesterly winds.
