A broad area of low pressure near the Gulf Coast is creating disorganized showers and thunderstorms. This disturbance is forecast to continue sliding westward in Louisiana on Thursday before turning northward into the Mississippi valley.

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

There’s growing concern for another significant rain and flooding event this week, this time along the Gulf Coast, from what could become the Atlantic basin’s next tropical system.

The heaviest rains are expected to instead take aim at the Acadiana area, but flash flooding will be an issue there and in New Orleans and Baton Rouge metros. Here's more.

So far in 2025, National Weather Service offices have issued more flood warnings than any other year on record dating back to 1986.

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.

A tropical storm may form this week, bringing risks of flash flooding and strong thunderstorms from Florida to Louisiana.

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - A brand new update from the National Hurricane Center brings tropical development possible from Southeast Louisiana and all of the Eastern Gulf. The area in question has been given a low chance of development. If it were to become organized, it wouldn’t be until mid to late next week.
