The National Hurricane Center is giving Invest 93L a 40% chance of development.
Many models have shifted farther north, meaning a chance of more land interaction as it moves west along the Gulf Coast.
FOX 13 Meteorologist Dave Osterberg says regardless of development, the area of low pressure will be a rainmaker for Louisiana later this week.
“Yes, there is the potential that this could strengthen a little bit,” Osterberg said. “But it just looks very weak, very disorganized, and it’s really just a big area of moisture that’s drifting west and eventually headed into Louisiana.”
The northern shift helped lead to less rainfall on Tuesday in the Tampa Bay area, with some areas not getting any rain.
