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

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.

A system that has been producing heavy rain and thunderstorms across Florida could become a tropical depression later this week, according to the National Hurricane Center.
