Likening the system to a merry-go-round, Pilié said weather forecasting models Thursday showed the storm doing a full loop around the southeast U.S. before circling back to the Gulf Coast, bringing increased rain chances and the potential for tropical development late next week.
"Heavy rain is already moving through Louisiana and will continue over the next few days," AccuWeather's Alex DaSilva said.
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.

The area of low pressure in the Gulf may not become a tropical depression after all. The National Hurricane Center on Thursday lowered the chances of Invest 93L becoming a depression from 40 percent to 30 percent as it tracked westward over the northern Gulf toward Louisiana.
