Regardless of development, heavy rainfall is expected over portions of Florida, which could bring localized flash flooding through mid-week.

The weather system moving across the Florida Panhandle was showing signs of becoming a tropical depression on Thursday while moving towards the northern Gulf Coast, officials said

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.

Heavy rainfall with a risk for flash floods are predicted across portions of Florida as Invest 93L moves across the state.

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

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring Invest 93L off Florida. Chances for development stand at 40% over the next 48 hours.
