A low pressure area is being monitored by the state weather bureau east of Eastern Visayas and may develop into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours.

There will be no tropical depression in the Gulf, at least this week. The National Hurricane Center on Thursday said an area of low pressure that had attracted the attention of weather watchers this week as it moved across the northern Gulf has moved inland in Louisiana as of Thursday evening.

Forecasters are monitoring a low-pressure area that has formed off a tropical wave in the Atlantic that has a low chance of developing.

The low-pressure area (LPA) off the Visayas now has a “medium” chance of developing into a tropical depression, state meteorologists

Depression or no depression, the system could bring several inches of rain to the north-central Gulf Coast, including Alabama, through Friday. The National Weather Service in Mobile thinks that the most rain with this system will likely fall closer to the coast, with scattered storms possible.

Additional rainfall amounts of up to 1"-2" will be possible for much of Southeast Louisiana. Some locally higher totals will still be possible though. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has been monitoring an area of low pressure, Invest 93-L. It now has a 0% of development as it moves through Southeast Louisiana.

The National Hurricane Center said July 15 it is continuing to track a system off the coast of Florida that could soon become a tropical depression.

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.

A weather system moving across Florida wasn’t even a tropical something but it has the potential to develop into a tropical depression as it moves across the Gulf later in the week.

Invest 93L is taking its time moving across Florida, and it could still become a tropical depression later this week.

Tropical Depression Crising is expected to develop into a storm on Thursday morning and may reach the severe tropical storm category by Friday afternoon or evening before it approaches northern Luzon.
