A disorganized low-pressure area off Florida is showing increasing chances of becoming a tropical depression or tropical storm this week.

Houston faces a dry Wednesday as high pressure moves in, but the tropical system Invest 93L could send downpours to Southeast Texas by Thursday.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) and the FOX 35 Storm Team are tracking an area of low pressure sitting near the panhandle of Florida: Invest 93L. With plenty of fuel to feed the disturbance, Invest 93L has the potential to become a tropical depression by the end of this week.

The formation chance through 48 hours is medium at 40%, with the same probability maintained through seven days.

Southeast Texas residents should prepare for possible flash flooding and heavy rainfall as a weak tropical system moves in this weekend.

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.

By the weekend, the system will move farther away from us and closer to the northern Gulf Coast or Texas. As it organizes and consolidates moisture around its circulation, some drier air may build over the Suncoast. This should help reduce our rain chances somewhat by the weekend.

The National Weather Service in Mobile will also be closely watching the system and expects the risk for rip currents along the Alabama and northwest Florida coasts to increase to moderate by Wednesday and high by Thursday, which means swimming in the Gulf will be hazardous.

South Florida could see some street flooding Monday and Tuesday, thanks to a potential tropical system brewing near the north end of the state. The Miami office of the National Weather Service called for a flood watch - when there's a chance of flooding but it's not yet happening - for Monday afternoon and Tuesday in urban southeast Florida.
