A system was detected off the Atlantic Coast of Florida and is expected to move into the northern Gulf Coast and develop into a tropical depression.

As high pressure builds over the southern United States next week, the northern Gulf to areas along the central Gulf coast will be the zone to watch for tropical development.

Forecasters are warning of early signs of a potential tropical cyclone developing along the northeastern Gulf of Mexico. A low-pressure system that could bring storms to Florida before moving west has a medium chance of developing into a tropical cyclone over the next several days, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).

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.

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.

Invest 93L was still over land early Wednesday, but it's expected to bring the risk of heavy rainfall and flooding to Houston in the coming days.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a trough of low pressure located over the panhandle of Florida. It is in the process of moving westward into the northeastern Gulf of Mexico and stay right along the coast as it moves west.

It may or may not develop into a tropical depression, but the system will bring rains and the possibility of flooding. Here's the forecast for New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Lafayette.
