The National Hurricane Center said July 16 it is continuing to monitor an area of low pressure moving across Florida toward the Gulf.

The trough of low pressure that has brought an unsettled pattern to south Florida through the start of the week is now moving into the northern Gulf.According

A disturbance dubbed Invest 93L could become Tropical Storm Dexter as it tracks west from Florida toward Louisiana, forecasters say.

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 National Hurricane Center is monitoring a low-pressure system off the eastern coast of Florida Monday that has potential to develop into a stronger storm.

The hatched areas on the National Hurricane Center's tropical outlook map indicate "areas where a tropical cyclone — which could be a tropical depression, tropical storm or hurricane — could develop," said National Hurricane Center Deputy Director Jamie Rhome.

NHC is tracking a disturbance off Florida. Get ready for a very wet week, with a potential for localized flooding and dangerous rip currents.
