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

Forecasters are warning of early signs of a potential tropical cyclone developing along the northeastern Gulf of Mexico. A low-pressure system that could bring storms to Florida before moving west has a medium chance of developing into a tropical cyclone over the next several days, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).

The system, identified as Invest 93L, originally developed east of Florida before traversing the entire state and ending up over Louisiana and Mississippi.

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.

Hurricane center forecasters said the system, designated as Invest 93L, is forecast to continue moving westward and could emerge or redevelop.

A disorganized low-pressure area that's moving over northern Florida is showing increasing chances of becoming a tropical depression or tropical storm later in the week, the National Hurricane Center said. Even now, it's already having an influence on Florida weather with isolated torrential rain.
