A sprawling tropical system churning toward the Gulf Coast threatens to bring significant rain and flash flooding this week to a large swath of the southeast, from the Florida panhandle to Louisiana and parts of eastern Texas.

Yet another flooding event is possible, this time along the Gulf Coast on Thursday and Friday, as a tropical disturbance tracks toward Louisiana. The chance that the disturbance will turn into a tropical storm appears slimmer than it was earlier this week.

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.
