The National Hurricane Center is tracking Invest 93L. Could tropical storm Dexter develop? What is the weather forecast for travel? What we know

The National Hurricane Center on Wednesday continued to project a medium chance that a system moving over Florida would emerge into the Gulf and develop into the season’s next tropical depression or storm.

Forecasts suggested widespread rainfall totals between 2 and 4 inches, with isolated areas seeing as much as 7 inches by Tuesday evening. Authorities emphasized the risk posed by flooding, including rapidly rising waters in streams and dangerous road conditions in both cities and rural areas.

The National Hurricane Center continue to monitor Invest 93L, an area of low pressure which could become a tropical depression.

A disturbance called Invest 93L by the National Hurricane Center could turn into a tropical depression or the next named storm of hurricane season.

A disturbance near Florida could evolve into a tropical depression or Tropical Storm Dexter this week, according to forecasters.

Invest 93L is taking its time moving across Florida, and it could still become a tropical depression later this week.
