National Hurricane Center has a warning for Florida, Texas as Gulf tropical development chances are increasing
The National Hurricane Center is closely monitoring a cluster of thunderstorms, designated Invest 93L, off Florida's east coast, with increasing chances of tropical development. Central Florida is bracing for heavy rainfall, potentially reaching up to 3 inches in some areas. Regardless of tropical development, high rain chances persist through the week, with potential localized flooding.
93-L will move into the Gulf on Wednesday where it will continue to act like a water hose, pumping a lot of moisture toward Central Florida so rain chances remain high

The National Hurricane Center is keeping a close eye on a cluster of thunderstorms off the coast of Florida or possible tropical development later this week. The chances of development of a tropical depression or tropical storm off Florida's east coast are increasing, the NHC said, as the system is becoming better NHC is calling this " Invest 93L ", a term used to identify systems that could develop, allowing more sophisticated, high-resolution computer models to be run on them. Invest 93-L is looking better organized Tuesday morning and will move over Central Florida throughout the day and it is likely to bring several bouts of rain and storms up to 3 inches of rain in some areas.93-L will move into the Gulf on Wednesday where it will continue to act like a water hose, pumping a lot of moisture toward Central Florida so rain chances remain high for us through late week regardless of any tropical development, as per media reports. If a tropical storm does develop, it would be named a high-pressure system over the northeastern Gulf drifts slowly westward on July 15, it will provide an opening for the elongated low-pressure area in the Atlantic Ocean to "mosey westward," said the National Weather Service in disturbance may encounter more favourable conditions and strengthen into a potential tropical cyclone later in the week once it moves off Florida's west coast and along the northern Gulf coast, Jeffrey Lewitski, one of the center's lead forecasters was quoted as saying by USA Today. The center has upped the chances of the system becoming a tropical depression or storm to 30% by Wednesday and 40% through Sunday."Some areas will receive multiple rounds of rain for the next couple of days which can lead to localized flooding," said the weather service office in the Ruskin/Tampa if something tropical develops or not, the forecast for Florida will remain the same for the most numerous showers and thunderstorms across the state the next few days. This will be an uptick in showers and storms compared to the 'normal' summertime pattern of pop-up afternoon storms, according to Weather Channel. The chances of rain will go up for the Panhandle and the entire Gulf Coast by mid to late week as the low continues to move toward the west-northwest. This low will increase instability in the area, which will bump the rain chances heavy downpours could lead to flash flooding in some spots near the Gulf Coast later in the week. And some remnant moisture and spin could keep that locally heavy rain threat in the lower Mississippi Valley into next National Weather Service is urging residents and visitors, anywhere from Florida to Texas, to stay up to date with the forecast and follow any guidance issued in regard to any tropical development.
