A disturbance dubbed Invest 93L could become Tropical Storm Dexter as it tracks west from Florida toward Louisiana.

While the National Hurricane Center's map is lit up with a tropical disturbance, Saturday's forecast is much more about the heat index.

A wet and rainy Florida could soon see even more precipitation in the coming days, according to the National Weather Service, which has warned the Gulf Coast will face a flood-generating system that could form into Tropical Storm Dexter.

There's a chance the storm could form within the next 48 hours. Even if it doesn't, Florida is expecting heavy rain.

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

Invest 93L may have fizzled out, but the history of Texas storms suggests August could be the 'real' start of the season.

The storm remains disorganized on Wednesday but still has time to strengthen over the Gulf before making landfall on Thursday.

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

A weather system moving across Florida wasn’t even a tropical something but it has the potential to develop into a tropical depression as it moves across the Gulf later in the week. National

Forecasts suggested widespread rainfall totals between 2 and 4 inches, with isolated areas seeing as much as 7 inches by Tuesday evening. Authorities emphasized the risk posed by flooding, including rapidly rising waters in streams and dangerous road conditions in both cities and rural areas.
