Heavy rain, flood threat to the golf coast increases

Now happens

The tropical disturbance, which is referred to by the National Hurricane Center “Invest 93L”, is located near the coast of the northern Golf to the west. The likelihood that it becomes a tropical depression before moving over land and the lower Mississippi valley are now quite low.
