As a mass of showers and thunderstorms from the United States moves over open waters of the Gulf next week, there is a low chance of tropical development.

Flooding was possible across some parts of Southeast Texas, mainly east of Interstate 45, and in East Texas along the Texas-Louisiana border.

The Florida Panhandle will see heavy rainfall from Invest 93L after it reaches the Gulf on Wednesday. The greatest threat to the area at the moment is flash flooding in low-lying, poor-drainage areas and urban locations. Invest 93L is currently expected to make landfall near Louisiana's southeastern coast Thursday morning.

While most of Texas will stay dry over the next several days, far East Texas will have a chance of significant tropical rainfall.

Downpours are expected in Houston on Friday as a tropical disturbance along the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico stalls without strengthening.

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.

If the storm were to speed up, it would push the tropical rain across the central Gulf Coast. A storm which stalls over the Gulf or Louisiana could result in more widespread heavy rain and flooding.

According to the NHC, the tropical wave in the northwestern Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico has a 60% chance of formation over the next seven days and is likely to form by early to mid-next week.
