The heaviest rains are expected to instead take aim at the Acadiana area, but flash flooding will be an issue there and in New Orleans and Baton Rouge metros. Here's more.

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

A tropical weather system near the Florida Panhandle is showing a moderate chance of becoming a tropical depression.

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

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

The system is expected to remain disorganized and move inland quickly, with flood watches issued for areas along the Gulf Coast.

A tropical storm may form this week, bringing risks of flash flooding and strong thunderstorms from Florida to Louisiana.

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.

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.
