The National Hurricane Center said July 14 it is tracking a system off the Atlantic coast of Florida that could bring heavy rain to the area.

A low pressure system near Florida has a 40% chance of developing into at least a tropical depression, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Heavy rainfall will produce torrential rates of 3 to 4 inches per hour across Florida, leading to flooding in some areas, with local totals possibly reaching double digits.

All of Southeast Louisiana is under a multi-day Flood Watch due to a Gulf disturbance expected to bring extreme amounts of rain to the area. The Flood Watch begins Wednesday afternoon and will be in effect until early Saturday morning.

A drenching weather system moving across Florida on Tuesday wasn't even a tropical anything but has the potential to develop into a tropical depression as it moves into the northeastern and northern Gulf later in the week,

A flood watch will go into effect for much of south Louisiana later this week as a slow-moving low-pressure system heads toward the Gulf of Mexico, bringing with it the potential for downpours and flash flooding along the Gulf Coast.

The Florida Panhandle will see heavy rainfall from Invest 93L after it reaches the Gulf on Wednesday. The greatest threat to the area at the moment is flash flooding in low-lying, poor-drainage areas and urban locations. Invest 93L is currently expected to make landfall near Louisiana's southeastern coast Thursday morning.

A new disturbance in the Gulf is expected to bring rain and the potential for flash flooding to parts of Florida in the coming days.

As a system of low pressure crosses into the Gulf of America, heavy rain is expected across much of Florida during the work week.
