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 system that has been producing heavy rain and thunderstorms across Florida could become a tropical depression later this week, according to the National Hurricane Center.

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.

A storm moving over Florida brought drenching rains to the region and the continued threat of gaining strength, forecasters said Tuesday.
