Invest 93L is currently churning in the Gulf and is expected to pick up a bit of steam before it makes landfall in Louisiana early Thursday afternoon.

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

Invest 93L is expected to move onshore in Louisiana later today. Will it be a depression? Tropical Storm Dexter?

Likening the system to a merry-go-round, Pilié said weather forecasting models Thursday showed the storm doing a full loop around the southeast U.S. before circling back to the Gulf Coast, bringing increased rain chances and the potential for tropical development late next week.

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

The National Hurricane Center once again dropped the likelihood of formation for the tropical system hovering just offshore of Mississippi to 30% in the next two to seven days.

L continues to move westward across the Gulf Coast and is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms, according to the National Hurricane Center. The system is expected to continue moving westward across the northern portion of the Gulf,

The risk of heavy rain, thunderstorms and gusty winds coming to south Louisiana this week has increased as a low pressure system near Florida heads for the Gulf of Mexico.
