The National Hurricane Center is tracking Invest 93L. Could tropical storm Dexter develop? What is the weather forecast for travel? What we know

The National Hurricane Center on Tuesday increased its forecast chances a system already dumping rain on Florida could develop into the season’s next tropical depression or storm.

Regardless of development, heavy rainfall is expected over portions of Florida, which could bring localized flash flooding through mid-week.

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 National Hurricane Center is monitoring Invest 93L, an area of low pressure off Florida which could become a tropical depression.

Unlike Monday, which was a deluge for South Florida, today’s tropical-system-related rain is expected to be more concentrated in the center of the state. The Miami office of the National Weather Service predicts South Florida could see around 1 inch of rain on Tuesday and Wednesday, not enough for any severe flooding.

"Should development take place on the Atlantic side of Florida, it may once again drift northward toward the U.S. coast," Accuweather said on July 11. The more plausible option is development on the Gulf side, which could be steered westward along the northern Gulf Coast, the weather forecast company stated.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring an area of low pressure that has a moderate chance of developing into a tropical depression or storm as it moves westward across the Gulf of Mexico this week.
