The National Hurricane Center has highlighted an area it's watching in the Gulf. Right now, there's a low chance for development.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring Invest 93L off Florida. Chances for development stand at 40% over the next 48 hours.

A Level 3 out of 4 risk for flash flooding has been issued, encompassing major I-95 corridor cities such as Baltimore, Washington D.C. and Philadelphia.

Heavy rainfall with a risk for flash floods are predicted across portions of Florida as Invest 93L moves across the state.

The weather remains hot and humid, with storms likely along the east coast. Heavy rainfall is likely as these storms form, but a somewhat drier period is expected on Tuesday and Wednesday. Central Florida embraces warmer temperatures with storms likely along the east coast due to seabreeze boundaries.

The system could end up bringing a lot of rain to the Gulf Coast, including Alabama, according to forecasters. The National Hurricane Center said there is a 30 percent probability of a tropical depression forming in the next week in the Gulf, an increase from 20 percent the past few days.

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - A disturbed area of low pressure off the east coast of Florida has been designated as 93L by the National Hurricane Center on Monday afternoon. It is forecast to move westward over Florida over the next 24 hours, into the Gulf by late Tuesday.

Chantal made landfall near Litchfield Beach, South Carolina, at approximately 4 a.m. July 6 and is moving inland over northeastern South Carolina.

As a system of low pressure crosses into the Gulf of America, heavy rain is expected across much of Florida during the work week.

Rip currents kill an average of 70 people a year, according to the weather death statistics from the National Weather Service.
