The National Hurricane Center (NHC) and the FOX 35 Storm Team are tracking an area of low pressure located over the far northern portion of the Gulf: Invest 93L. Although the chances of a tropical depression forming are slightly less than days prior,

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.

Downpours are expected in Houston on Friday as a tropical disturbance along the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico stalls without strengthening.

The summer of flooding and irritant-level tropical threats rolls with this week’s focus on a disorganized disturbance in the northern Gulf.

Invest 93L is the label for a disturbance that crossed Florida early in the week and is now hugging the northern Gulf Coast as it drifts westward towards Louisiana. There is a medium chance for it to develop into a tropical depression or storm,

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

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