The chances of invest 93L—a disturbance over the Gulf Coast with the potential to become Tropical Storm Dexter—developing into a cyclone have fallen, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).
Invest 93L may have fizzled out, but the history of Texas storms suggests August could be the 'real' start of the season.
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.
There's a chance the storm could form within the next 48 hours. Even if it doesn't, Florida is expecting heavy rain.
