The National Hurricane Center (NHC) and the FOX 35 Storm Team are tracking an area of low pressure sitting near the panhandle of Florida: Invest 93L. With plenty of fuel to feed the disturbance, Invest 93L has the potential to become a tropical depression by the end of this week.

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) -We’re closely monitoring Invest 93L as it targets the Gulf Coast. There’s currently a medium (40%) chance of tropical development in the northern Gulf by late week.

A tropical disturbance is tracking toward Louisiana. The chances that it turns into a tropical storm are dropping, but localized flooding Thursday and Friday is possible.

Rain from Invest 93L looks to hold off until later Wednesday along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, when the flood threat begins to increase and will last through Saturday. Widespread rain totals of 3 to 6 inches are expected,
