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

This is because dusty, dry, Saharan air – one of the Atlantic's biggest limiting factors – typically disperses and allows tropical waves to produce tall thunderstorms. These thunderstorms lead to a healthier system and could eventually lead to the formation of a tropical depression or storm.

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

The storm remains disorganized on Wednesday but still has time to strengthen over the Gulf before making landfall on Thursday.

The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season continues to show signs of activity, and there’s a growing chance we’ll soon be tracking our next named storm. So far this season, three named storms have already formed.

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.

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.

All eyes on the tropics as a disturbance nearing Florida will move into the Gulf and develop into a storm over the next few days.
