The storm will bring heavy rainfall to the region, and a flood watch was in effect for southeastern Louisiana through Friday night.

The heaviest rains are expected to instead take aim at the Acadiana area, but flash flooding will be an issue there and in New Orleans and Baton Rouge metros. Here's more.

A tropical storm may form this week, bringing risks of flash flooding and strong thunderstorms from Florida to Louisiana.

Development chances for Invest 93-L have slightly declined as the system continues moving westward across the Gulf Coast, producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Hurricane center forecasters said the system, designated as Invest 93L, is forecast to continue moving westward and could emerge or redevelop.

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.

Governor Jeff Landry and state emergency officials will share how ready the state is for the bad weather as Invest 93 nears Southeast Louisiana.
