The National Hurricane Center now has its eyes on a tropical wave well over 500 miles east of the Lesser Antilles. It has a shot to be the season’s next tropical depression or storm before conditions become less favorable by the middle of the upcoming week.

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.

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 National Hurricane Center said July 15 it is continuing to track a system off the coast of Florida that could soon become a tropical depression.

Invest 93L is taking its time moving across Florida, and it could still become a tropical depression later this week.

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.
