The lull in the Atlantic appears to be quite over as four tropical disturbances are scattered throughout the Atlantic, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico , including a tropical rainstorm that is expected to drench Texas and Florida into this weekend.
The National Hurricane Center is tracking Invest 90L , which is expected to bring six to 10 inches of rain across Florida’s coastal Panhandle and western Big Bend area through the weekend. Some areas could see more than a foot of rain, according to the Florida Department of Emergency management.
There are three other tropical waves the NHC is tracking, all of which have a low chance of development.
Tropical rainstorm expected to drench Florida Panhandle could become tropical depression or storm
The Florida Panhandle is looking at cooler temperature this weekend, with high temperatures dipping as low as 73 degrees on Saturday before rising to a nice 78 and 81 degrees on Sunday and Monday, respectively.
That is, unfortunately, where the good news ends as AccuWeather predicts that the tropical rainstorm, which already dumped heavy rains on Texas over Labor Day weekend, could develop into a tropical depression or a weak tropical storm .
