Depression or no depression, the system could bring several inches of rain to the north-central Gulf Coast, including Alabama, through Friday. The National Weather Service in Mobile thinks that the most rain with this system will likely fall closer to the coast, with scattered storms possible.

Additional rainfall amounts of up to 1"-2" will be possible for much of Southeast Louisiana. Some locally higher totals will still be possible though. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has been monitoring an area of low pressure, Invest 93-L. It now has a 0% of development as it moves through Southeast Louisiana.

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.

Tropical Depression Crising is expected to develop into a storm on Thursday morning and may reach the severe tropical storm category by Friday afternoon or evening before it approaches northern Luzon.

Invest 93L is currently churning in the Gulf and is expected to pick up a bit of steam before it makes landfall in Louisiana early Thursday afternoon.

Regardless of development, heavy rainfall is expected over portions of Florida, which could bring localized flash flooding through mid-week.

Tropical Depression Crising is expected to intensify into a tropical storm by early Friday morning, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).

KPRC 2’s Weather team has been monitoring a tropical system headed toward the Gulf, but the National Hurricane Center has dramatically lowered the chance of any development.
