Watches For Invest 93-L Now Issued For Louisiana
[KNGT-FM] -- The entire state of Louisiana and everyone who lives along the Gulf Coast of Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi have been watching an area of disturbed weather that has been sitting off the East coast of Florida for the past few days.
That area of weather has now moved over the state of Florida and has entered the Gulf. It is currently known as Invest 93-L, and according to the National Hurricane Center, it has a 40% chance of formation in the next seven days.
Experts have been monitoring this area of disturbed weather for a few days and are anxiously awaiting to see where it will head. Most of the experts are in agreement that Invest 93-L will impact the state of Louisiana in some way.
The question we all have on our minds is how bad it will get. Weather Experts have been studying the models to try and provide us with a precise forecast, but for the past few days, the models have been giving them different scenarios.
The one thing they all agree on is the fact that the state will see rain for sure, with some parts of the state experiencing several inches of rain over the next few days. Now, as far as watches are concerned, all of Southeast Louisiana is under a flood watch as the National Hurricane Center continues to monitor impacts from Invest 93-L.
According to WDSU News in New Orleans,
A Flood Watch has been issued for Orleans, Jefferson, St. Tammany, St. Bernard, Lafourche, Terrebonne, St. Charles, Tangipahoa, St. John The Baptist, Hancock, Plaquemines, Washington, St. James, Pearl River county starting Wednesday 1 p.m. to Saturday 1 a.m. 3 to 6 inches of rainfall possible as a system from the Gulf moves in.

Meteorologist Zack Fradella out of New Orleans issued his latest update a few minutes ago, saying,
Disorganized is the word to use this morning for the Gulf disturbance! We’ve lost most of the circulation, but convection is beginning to build back. It’s going to take time for this thing to pull itself together,r and there remains a small window for a depression to form just off our coast on Thursday. Same impact, though with heavy rain potential over the next 48 hours. Closer to the coast? Higher chances…inland, much lower chances. Source: Meteorologist Zack Fradella
Locally, here in Southwest Louisiana, Jacob Durham with KPLC TV gave an update on what Southwest Louisiana can expect. He said,
Update on Invest 93-L as it continues to spin near Tallahassee. The good news is that the system remains very disorganized with models continuing to keep it near the coastline as it moves westward towards Louisiana, allowing it to stay a weak system.
The big story remains the heavy rainfall the system could bring to portions of the state, including Southwest Louisiana. -Source Jacob Durham KPLCTV

We will have to continue to watch Invest 93-L and see what comes of it. If it were to strengthen, the next name on the list is Dexter. No matter what, always make sure you have a plan in place just in case this thing becomes an issue.
