A disorganized low-pressure area off Florida is showing increasing chances of becoming a tropical depression or tropical storm this week.
Regardless of development, heavy rainfall is expected over portions of Florida, which could bring localized flash flooding through mid-week.
A disturbance dubbed Invest 93L could become Tropical Storm Dexter as it tracks west from Florida toward Louisiana, forecasters say.
A low-pressure system will bring pockets of heavy rain and thunderstorms across Central Florida. Invest 93-L is expected to bring around 1 to 5 inches in some areas as it moves over Florida. The system is moving onshore Tuesday and will bring significant rainfall across Central Florida.
The National Hurricane Center on Monday increased its forecast chances a system already dumping rain on Florida could develop into the season’s next tropical depression or storm.
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.
South Florida will see a soggy start to its week due to a potential tropical system that is forecast to form in the Gulf and then move across Florida, the National Weather Service said Sunday.
