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.

The system, identified as Invest 93L, originally developed east of Florida before traversing the entire state and ending up over Louisiana and Mississippi.

The storm remains disorganized on Wednesday but still has time to strengthen over the Gulf before making landfall on Thursday.

Likening the system to a merry-go-round, Pilié said weather forecasting models Thursday showed the storm doing a full loop around the southeast U.S. before circling back to the Gulf Coast, bringing increased rain chances and the potential for tropical development late next week.

Invest 93L will move westward over Louisiana on Thursday. The western Florida Panhandle will see minor impacts through Saturday.

A disturbance dubbed Invest 93L could become Tropical Storm Dexter as it tracks west from Florida toward Louisiana, forecasters say.

Six tornadoes were reported from Wisconsin to Indiana on Wednesday, with the Wisconsin ones labeled as “large,” though no major damage or injuries have been reported.

All of southeast Louisiana is under a flood watch as the WDSU First Warning Weather team continues to monitor impacts from Invest 93-L as it moves over the area, but now has a 0% chance of becoming a tropical depression.
